oh we are usually just there overnight... one night... ether in transit to somewhere else or something like that.. so she is never left in there... and you coudlnt' leave her cause housekeeping would find him! lol.... but layla has NO problem being in her crate in the car... so sometimes i'll leave it running.. if it is summer (i have two sets of keys.. one keeps it running.. the other so i can lock the door and get back in) and if it is cooler out.. i put a heating disk in with her... and she'll sleep in there for as long as i need to be where i am.. she loves the car... however... will not be left alone anywhere else
odd... anways.. good luck!
