Still Bored #7. Crates!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Um....I've lost count (blushes).

I have all types and sizes.

I'm now listening to "Alice's Restaurant".

When I moved a few years ago I gave 23 crates away. I had *2* wire crates when I arrived in the Seattle area 2 years ago. Now, I have 9 wire ones and 4 fabric ones. We're on the lookout for more "giant" crates as Lou only fits in those.

I'm not picky about brand, functional works. I get REALLY jazzed though when I find one of the old Kennelaire ones with the metal pan at a garage sale. My dogs crack the plastic pans :o(

WE HAVE THE BIG METEAL CRATES THAT LOOK LIKE CAGES WITH A PAN ON THE BOTTOM AS WELL AS THE FOLDING CAGES THAT FOLD FLAT WITH THE mwteal pan at bottomtheyh have beenused from any thing 2 cats rabbits kids of course as well as trans port back and fourth 2 vet when it comes time 4 pups 2 recive there 1st set of shotsthe top dows open aswell as a door with bars on them if fact hubby and i were thinking of startinga small business renting out crates as well as the big solid plastic 1s with the coutions on the bottomi thought of this swhen a friend was going2 go frompa 2 az 2 bring back a dog that her mother had left when shepassed shewas looking 4 a crate that met air line specks andthere was not 1 2 b found at all they have 2 be air line approvedmolded in 2 theplastic it self the 1s that fit right under the air line seat i will not ever put a dog on a plane that it has 2 be put in the bellies cause they de pressure ize thebellies and it gets quite cold we have gotton them from g arage sales as well as thrift shope rummage sales flea markets i have no clue whats out back in the size storage building at this time i do know there are hoses as well as feed and water bowels dog food is in a few meteal g cans so as 2 no rodeants get in the foodlots of luck atur collection of crates

This summer I had a yard sale and sold 2 small plastic crates, 1 large plastic crate, 2 small wire crates and 3 medium wire crates. My husband was complaining that I had too many and they take up too much room, I argued and lost but I still have 6 wire crates and 3 soft sided.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I have 6 crates, and 3 dogs..

My fave is the giant black wired, open on all sides, top opens, has door on front and side also....I get them at Pets Mart, no where else, and the pans are not the flimsy ones, they last forever.

I use 2 large ones the back of the SUV when I do rescues..they are extra roomy even for the largest breeds...

Happy Thanksgiving

I have a lot of left-over Sheltie size wire crates. And a couple of different sizes Vari-kennels..and a BC size soft crate. Truly, I haven't a clue how many I have!

I now have 1 Border Collie.

Well, the thing is: in warm weather the wire crates offer more air flow, and nice to put a wet dog in after you wash them to shake and drip dry before you start grooming. The VariKennels offer a more den-like retreat, need if you are going to ship, and in cold weather keep them cozier. But the soft crates sure are lighter to drag to shows.

And, of course, there are the 3 x-pens I have too......

we have 3 crates. I don't have a favorite brand. I got 2 of them at Petsmart. the first one I got for my dog Roxie who died in 05 and then I let Dakota have that one and then after I got Due we got a big one for him and then when we got my mom's dog her crate came with her.

Duke's crate has 2 doors which I like because you can face it in a different direction you can open it that way. His came with a thing you could separate it in to 2 or make smaller but I didn't so he could have room!

I have two crates, I use them for potty training and when I am done potty training, I break them down and store them. I have a carrier for going to the v-e-t, The Titans are spanking the Lions like a 5-year-old at Kmart, just in case you are not watching the game.

If you count wire crates/kennels too, then I have 3. For one dog. Sigh.

A plastic one for travel, a wire one here for everyday, and a wire one at my parent's house, for when Kip is there.

And if I ever enter an agility trial, I'll either need a soft-sided one, or an x-pen.

I have 10 and I don't use more than one or two

well 2 dogs i should have two crates..or more, but i only have the one, im getting another one soon tough, and their only puppies so they need to be just right or they might pee, so i will be updating them >>> soon probably haha
