Oh - and our pup loves her crate. She was desperately relieved when we took the crate with us when we went camping. We took the crate out as a 'last measure' after she'd been restless, barking at everything that was new to her, refused to eat or nap for hours. When she saw her crate, we barely had time to put her mat in it - she would have just jumped in without a mat, only to be in her crate. As soon as she was in it, she had a looong nap, then came out, ate, eliminated and went straight back in and slept through the night. Our pup also tells us in the evening when she's ready for 'bed' ... she'll gently mouth the cushion on which I'm sitting, which means 'let me get to my crate', and she happily goes in and goes to sleep.
