Crates for kids?! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lucia · 12-03-2008, 08:04 AM

My youngest daughter Lucia was being very quiet earlier....a bit too quiet for my liking....I found her in Twinkle's crate relaxing with a book! I managed to grab my camera just as she was clambering out! Mmmmm........crate training the kids, now there's an idea I wonder if I could find one big enough for hubby.....................?

That's so cute, she is an adorable little girl

I do like the idea of training the hubby ..... mine "crates" himself when he goes into his den to watch football , he even takes his 'treats' with him and a soft blanket ...

Look how cute she is!

I often put Amelia in her crate, (playpen), so I can do stuff, crate training does work!

Too cute! I watched my neighbors kid a while back for like 15 minutes while she did something and the first thing he did was climb in the crate! My dogs totally think it's a fort and spend most of the day in there, why wouldn't a kid love it? We have a big one filled with pillows and blankets and it's warm in there (it's fabric) so why not? Sometimes I wish I had one!

LOL! yep Twinkle's normally looks pretty cosy too! In the pic Lucia had pulled all the bedding out before she climbed in - apart from one blanket that she had put over her lap! Twinkle goes into her crate quite alot during the day, probably because it's quiet and away from the kids....I'm thinking I could do with one too!

Aww, how cute is that!!! My grandaughter loves to sit on Abby's little couch - it is just her size! Little ones like dens just like our furbabies!!

So I read this thread yesterday and it made me giggle. Then today I got this picture from my sister with the caption "Now if only it had doors...with locks"

Apparently Its a common want of mothers everywhere to keep their children contained and generally out of trouble

LOL! That is so adorable!

I bet your face just lit up when you saw that!

And I have to admit, I loved your idea in the last sentence. Now THAT'S an invention!
