OH Happy lab, I agree with Neesie! I have two maltese furbabies and each has her own house (crate) Each pup has their own water dish and bed and I also made a cover that goes everywhere but the door. They love bedtime and wait for me to say nite nite. They run off the end of my bed, down the steps and then split to eah his or her own house. I give a treat and shut the doors. Not to shut them in but for their comfort. The little girl can't get any rest if she is not in her bed. Every noise gets her attention! LOL! Plus she wants that treat! It really comes in handy when there is fireworks or extra noises outside like neighbors party. Can you tell i like the houses?
