| I use a crate with Pebbles because that is what she was trained in by her previous owner. When we brought Doodlebug home, I purchased an XPen for him. It's like a baby play yard. We took 2 sides off and made a small square, put his bed, water, food and peepee pad in with him and set it into our family room. Pebbles crate is in our bedroom and she goes in whenever she feels like chillin. I would personally use the xpen if you don't plan to use it long term.

| Lexi was shipped to us, and she came in a plastic kennel. I have been using that for her crate. I used it for crate training and for sleeping. After a couple of weeks, though, there were times when I knew I'd be gone for longer amounts of time on occasion, and didn't want to leave her in the crate for that long. I bought an ex-pen. The crate is inside there, with a blanket next to it, and some toys. She will go lie in there on her own when she wants to take a nap. For bedtime, I still put her in her crate, just so she stays used to being in there. One good thing about that type of kennel/crate is that you can use it in the car. I did that until I got a car seat, but if you don't want to get a car seat, the crate can serve two purposes. |
