I'm trying to figure out to rearrange Sigurd's crate set-up. I am trying to make it more stylish, less of an eye sore. I'd love to see pictures of your crate set-up for some inspiration.
Try a google images search for "fancy dog crates." There are some really nice ones on there! I particularly like this one- it's a nice twist on the typical end opening crates:
good_karma: that first cage looks massive, what size is it?
elisabeth - That's hilarious. I'll go check it out, is it on gshome? I really like your crate set-up idea, do you mind if I save that image for future reference/inspiration??
wildo: I love that set-up!!
I was thinking of somehow sewing my own crate cover. I'm just not sure how about to do it. Any suggestions? I was thinking of getting material that covers the whole crate, and cutting it where the edges are and stitching that back up so it's snug. I'd leave an end completely open for the door. Would that even work? lol
ETA: I'd love to get a table that would work with the crate, that would be awesome. I'll keep searching around. I'm not handy and don't know anyone who is, so I couldn't just get it made by scratch.
What is the height of that crate and where did you get it? Chrono's is 33" high but it's way too short and he's getting little white calluses on his ears from his ears rubbing the top, but I can't find anything taller ANYWHERE.
I had purchased fabric and made little toppers, but then had to get some custom sized wall stuff cut to top the crate and then put the fabric over that, because they would pull the covers through the wires.
I want one of those nice crates, but I can see two things happening if I got one:
1) He'd eat it.
2) He'd suddenly decide he wants back in the bed with me after I shell out hundreds of dollars for the dang thing.
He likes his space and silence when he sleeps, so he sleeps downstairs in the crate. I guess I toss and turn too much for his liking, it annoys him, lol. And he hates the sound my air purifier makes, if it's not totally quiet, he hates it. But it's just a black wire crate with a mat, nothing special...
I ditched the crate and got a 5ftx5ft indoor kennel instead. I have it set up on heavy rubber mats to protect the flooring and will eventually put a Kuranda bed in as well.

Ohhhh Saber wants that bookshelf crate, elisabeth! I could just leave the door open and then she wouldn't have to go all the way across the room to SHRED ALL MY BOOKS!
I also rent. But I live in a split-level home where the upstairs is pretty much where we live and the large L-shaped room downstairs is sort of the "dog" room.
I have a 54" too.. in my living room. I wish there was a way to make it look nicer. The have been some great setups shown. I like the one wildo posted.
I have a complete room just for the kennels and the wire crate and one kennel is still at Chris's place. I really have to pick that one up. So we have four kennels and one crate. However, Judge is doing so well that I don't even have to crate him at night anymore.
We got 'Q' at 81/2 weeks old. She is now eleven weeks and three days old. Good natured and very much a baby. I have been crate training her but, sometimes I lose track of her for just a moment and bam! She does her thing, in the house. I show her and tell her "NO" and put her outside until it is...
I was out and about yesterday shopping at Price Chopper (local supermarket chain) Wally World, PetSmart, and Lowes. Ara was along for the ride and a PetSmart visit as she often is.
My last stop was Lowes in Glenmont. I thought, for giggles, I would ask whether they allowed dogs in the store...
Hey all,
This is my 4 year old girl Maisie who sits at about 25 inches in height. When we adopted her she was 60 pounds and all skin and bone. After 6 months she definitely is at a much healthier weight.
These aren’t the best photos, but my family keeps telling me how fat she looks and how...
Okay, so I've used Frontline on Skaara (9 mo) since I got her and I really haven't had any issues with it.. We use Advantix on our doberman that seems to work well. We live in a heavily tick populated area, mostly deer ticks that we've noticed. I've been hearing a lot about the Seresto collar...
What’s your opinion on dog parks? Do you guys have Any horror stories or have you only had good experiences?
The first time I brought kuru to a dog park was when she was 18 weeks old and it ended up easily being the worst decision of my life lol! At first it was all good, I had the whole thing...
