I've always had a slightly larger crate that Miller used. After I lost Miller I just closed the door of his crate and Cash used his smaller one that sits next to it. When we got Darby, I let him use the larger crate and kept Cash in the crate he had on the theory that I didn't want to make too many changes for Cash. I moved the larger one into the bedroom to (hopefully) make crate training easier with Darby. Darby would still go into Cash's crate in the mornings to nap while I was on the computer. Having the crate next to the bed wasn't that good with Darby so yesterday when I was home, I moved it back into the study. Last night at dinner time, Cash was in the larger crate waiting for his dinner. The same thing last night for the bedtime treat. I guess Cash wants an upgrade to a larger crate!
