CrazyCresties Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 As I got into bed last night, all the dogs were sound asleep already and I thought about those people who think crates are cruel and mean - yup my lot look very uncomfortable and stressed don't they :laugh: Daisy sleeps on top of Louis's crate at the foot of our bed. Louis sleeps on a sheepskin when it's cold. And Poppy snuggles under a duvet. p.s it's been quite chilly here at nights recently, hence all the clothes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sash Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Terribly cruel! ;) Sometimes when it's cold I try to lure Astro into sleeping on my bed with me... unsuccessfully. He happily pops himself into his snuggly bed in his crate and won't budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Harper can't wait to get into her crate of an evening... she has warm snugglies in there! Sometimes it's hard to get her to come out of a morning also... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I sometimes wish I had a crate all of my own that I could snuggle into. I might at least get some bleeding leg room and blankets! Sharing a big bed is not all it's cracked up to be! Edited July 1, 2014 by Little Gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Its not the crates that are cruel its the people who lock dogs in them for long periods of time that are cruel although some are more stupid than deliberately cruel for thinking this is ok.

Mystiqview Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I have two soft crates here in the lounge room and a dog sheepskin rug randomly placed on the floor. I have two dogs lying in crates and none on the sheepskin. Crate doors are open and neither dog was told to go into the crates. They went in on their own choice. Third dog is on the couch with my partner. Yep. Crates are most definitely cruel. Mine love theirs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems just the right amount of cruelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsKatie Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 It's 8.30 here and Earl has reluctantly gone to lie on the rug because I won't let him into the room to go to bed in his crate yet. The spoilt beast has a satin sheet draped over his - the kelpie sleeps in our walk in robe in hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbaudry Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Great pics everyone! Not a crate related question, but where does one buy sheepskin? And how easy is it to wash/keep clean? It looks very warm and comfy, and would be a great alternative for the doggies to sleep on, compared to all those horrid polyester "fleece" blankies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very warm and comfy, and would be a great alternative for the doggies to sleep on, compared to all those horrid polyester "fleece" blankies Most of mine are ex car seat covers. Not as easy to keep clean as fleece. I wash mine in the sink with wool wash then place flat on an airier in the shade. I have another coloured one, some one on eBay sells them for about $65 plus I have seen them sold by some local dog business that does home treats, training aids and other bits n bobs.

disintegratus Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Nathan always used to look at me disapprovingly when he'd drag himself out of bed at 10am-ish, and the dogs were still in their crates (I would have been awake by 7am at the latest) Until I woke him up early one day and he tried to get them to go outside to toilet before 10am! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
