Levi hates all crates equally.

He does have a plastic crate with the door removed in my bedroom, but he never uses it. Our bigger dog has severe separation anxiety and does best in the plastic type crates. Even covering the wire one with blankets made him anxious and he chewed on the bars constantly. But he loves his plastic crate. Go figure.

Ahi has a crate that I put her in if I need her out of harms way. She's fine in it. She'll whine for 2 seconds and realize she's going to stay in there and walks to the back and go to sleep. Otherwise she falls asleep on my bed but gets irritated when I move around too much

and goes on her cloud 9 which is leveled with my futon bed. If she gets hot on her cloud 9 she then precedes to crawl back into bed with me. LOL

All these pics of your babies humble abodes are just too cute.

I guess my ZoE has a cave...

It's an enclosed bed made out of an old end table. She loves to go in there to get away from things. That's her safe spot our home...the rule is when she is in there, she can't be bothered by anyone.

I bought it from Wholesale Pet Supplies, Dog Grooming | PetEdge.com Purchased the crate and the cover separately. But she really loves it.

Do you have blankets in there? I recently switched out Kaji's old tent with the new one. I placed all his old "dirty" blankets into the new house with his usual toys. He took to it quicker than I expected. Just fill the new safe place with familiar items and smells and keep it in the exact same spot. I'm sure your pup will be fine!

Oh yeah, she has a blankie in there, it was weekly trade off for wash day

I skipped a few washes before the big switch, so the blanket would hold a familiar scent and the house still kinda felt like home for him and it had at least a familiar smell.

Excuse the "artsy" pictures. I've been playing with my camera, trying to learn all it's functions. This was the color accent mode, and it only shows the color brown. His house is actually blue with brown paw prints all over.

I love Kaji's house! Great pictures. Kaji is adorable.
