Putting crate up?

[FuryanGoddess]

We get the puppy Friday. Should I put the crate up a few days early to let Zeva get used to seeing it again. She's way to big for it but would she understand? Should I just wait till the night before?

go luck with the new pup.

i really don't know but i think it doesn't matter when
you put the crate up. i think Zeva will know it's a crate
in her own understanding of it. was it Zeva's crate?

if it was Zeva's crate i'm thinking she is use to it. she hasn't
seen it for a while but she'll know what it is. i wouldn't be
surprised if she tries to get in it.

Yeah it was Zeva's crate, but she's been out of it since about 5 mos or so. She's longer than the crate is lol. We got it when we had our beagle and when we got her, we had about 2 hours notice. We had lost the beagle about 4 days earlier and we ended up getting her Christmas Eve so we were lucky we had one handy. She's so good in the house, she doesn't require one.

I bet the silly dork will bark at it like she does big fans at the Tractor Supply *sigh*
