Thanks for the update Staci! Oh, how I hated those first few nights in the crate. Like you, I kept it within a fingers reach, and would always be sticking them in to console her...or me???! She sounds so precious. I can't wait to see the pictures. And for me, feeding Star in her crate in the beginning was the best thing to get her to love her "den!" After a while, I could keep the door open, and she would go and sit, lay in there, loving her "place." Now, if for some reason I have to put her in it, she doesn't mind it a bit. PLEASE, give Keegan a big, big kiss and lots of hugs. LUCKY YOU! LUCKY HER!!! Oh, and as Star was a "winter" puppy, I can really feel for you when I read about those cold, cold mornings on the other end of the leash!
