puppies and their crate

We are crate training Beulah in part because we believe she deserves a safe place away from the bustle in our household sometimes. She is very happy in her crate and goes in on her own quite often.

Lydia, too, apparently feels that it's a safe place for her. When I was running the vacuum the other day, I turned to find Lydia herding Beulah into the crate, climbing in with her and closing the door.

(We are discouraging Lydia from playing in the crate, but these pictures were too cute not to share. Oh, and that box in the crate is to make it smaller and more cozy for Beulah, and help make it less attractive to soil in there.)
