Spencer our youngest still loves sleeping in his cage although he looks like one of those clowns coming out of the tiny car in the morning! Greta was crate trained as well, but we packed it up and put it away when she was trained. Blankets took the place of the kennel, so when we say "kennel" Greta knows that means go to her blanket in the kitchen! Peanut...well she almost doesn't count at 4 and a half pounds.
