Thank you so much for your responses and suggestions.

I'm not quite sure if I trust Greta yet. She has done destructive chewing in the past (some day I'll post a pic of the chewed up baseboards around the living room) and seems to be fixated on pillows lately. What I suppose I could do is leave her out for an hour on the weekend, when we are out of the house, and see what happens.

Does Elsa get upset going into the crate when Tesoro doesn't? Our other dog, Cassius, is a fairly recent addition to the family, and I'm not ready to even test him about being left uncrated for a while. I'm not sure how he would react to seeing Greta being allowed to roam freely.
