She still cries just because she's lonely, but it's not the crate itself that she's crying about (she wants to be with us if she can). She actually put herself to bed a few times, just climbing in when she wanted to nap or chew on her teddy bear. Sorry to hear about your dog's lupus; poor baby! I'm glad she's able to take a place of safety with her to scary places.<br /><br />Bennet,<br />Aww a dachsy :) I grew up with one. They are great little dogs! I can only imagine the poor guy getting caught up in the dining set, trying to find his way out while blind.<br /><br />Dr.,<br />If you posted cute puppy pix to your guild, maybe they forgave the wild wipes? ;DKaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164718601021220108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273077195457377371.post-71726652034980512852010-08-30T14:37:30.032-04:002010-08-30T14:37:30.032-04:00Love your comment on crate training.

Now when I leave her home during the day I know she's safe and not eating out of the garbage, and when we travel or go to the vet she has a place she feels secure in. <br /><br />My dog has a chronic disease (Lupus) so vets are awfully traumatic for her and we're there a lot. And she unvaoidably spends some time sick and scared. :( And she gets odd medicine reactions like being ravenously hungry or compulsions to lick the wall. Her crate is awesome awesome awesome for all those things. <br /><br />Sorry to be so long winded. I just really feel strongly about crate training. And I feel strongly that people who think it's cruel are silly and wrong. And I like your post a lot!Rhiihttp://www.isheepthings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273077195457377371.post-49804184001577489272010-08-30T13:34:24.690-04:002010-08-30T13:34:24.690-04:00I'll never forget my foray into "raiding ...I'll never forget my foray into "raiding with puppy" either. When Naxx was all the rage, I wiped my group on several occasions because of our brand new Wheaten. Pouncing on the key board, play-attacking my hands and computer mouse. Initially laughing, then dreading to look back at the screen to gaze upon whatever horrors I caused the guild... good days indeed.<br /><br />Crate training FTW.Dr. Cynicismhttp://www.cynicism101.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273077195457377371.post-65529351351996958982010-08-30T13:20:23.711-04:002010-08-30T13:20:23.711-04:00And then there's raiding with the geriatric se...And then there's raiding with the geriatric set. When my (mercifully tolerant) guild hears the bark of my ancient, incontinent, nearly blind dachshund in the background they know it's going to be "AFK to take Nick out," "AFK to retrieve Nick from the dining room chair jungle in which he has lost himself," "AFK to right Nick after he's fallen off his bed onto his back and is waving his paws pitifully in the air."
