Kids and Crates

Do your kids think that a crate is just as much for them as it is for the dogs? Dedrick does. lol He even laid down and had a nap in it this morning while Sheena was on teh couch. When she is in her crate he always thinks she is either lonely or cold. So if he thinks she is cold he gets his blanket to put on her. If he thinks she is lonely then he will either put his cat in there with her, go in there himself with her or both. She loves it too. here are some pics to prove it.

Sheena is still too lonely by Dedricks standards so he puts the kitty all the way in teh crate.

He ended up falling asleep on her. She woke him up about 20 minutes later by licking his face which he always laughs and scretches about.

Oh My gosh NicoleLJ!!!!


Absolutely Adorable Pictures~~~~ All of them!!!!

Your Sheena is such a Beauty, such a Wonderful Friend to Dedrick!!

Thank-You for sharing these moments with us~ :o

That is so incredibly cute.

My friend has a two year old named Maya. Maya likes to play with my dogs crates too. Maya will take all the dogs toys and put them in the dogs crates and then shut the doors to the crates.

Those are adorable! I don't have kids of my own (as I'm just a teen still), but when I was much younger I also thought the crates were just as good for me as they were the dogs.

:D Took the words out of my mouth.
and what a beautiful Shepherd!!

How adorable is that?! :D

Thanks everyone. Dedrick and his dogs are inseperable. They have been raised and trained to obey the kids as well as they obey us. They both love the kids very much.

Those pictures are adorable! :) It's great to see dogs that get along so well with children. Dedrick and Sheena look really cute together. I don't have any children but my husky, Nebo, gets so excited to see my nieces and nephews...he loooooooves to lick their faces. :o

what a cutie pie! He wants to be with Sheena! How cute is that. :)

I looked for an hour last night to try to find the pictures of my daughter when she was that age in crates with my dogs.. When I had a female come into heat, I had to get the dog out of the house to a friend. My daughter could open every single child lock known to man kind.. lol.. ( keep that in mind Nicole...)

Those pictures are just too cute! I loved them! What a sweet baby, Nicole, the one of the three of them is the most adorable of all!! Sheena is very well behaved with Dedrick, she is a very good dog. Thanks for the pictures, I could just look at those pictures for hours!

Oh dear, I remember those days. When we had our big crate for our Husky/Malamute I would always crawl into it. It was so fun :p. Those are adorable pictures! I loved em! There's just something about them crates that the kids love lol.

I think its because its like a fort.. That is how my daughter treated them. One day I came in as she had set up a fort in one of my males crates, and he was laying at the threshold and looked at me like " awwwwwwwww mom- I need a nap- get her out of my bed.. lol.. "

OH MY GOSH! HOW PRECIOUS:D

What wonderful pictures you've gotten of the two (or should I say three;)) of them. Priceless!

Thanks so much for sharing and making me smile today!

And just to answer your question, "Do your kids think that a crate is just as much for them as it is for the dogs?"
My niece does! She enjoys playing in Bon's crate.
