Do you call them Crates or Kennels?

I can't see A but from what I have heard I would call A a crate, B is also a crate. C is a kennel or dog run, I call them both names.
I don't call anything a cage, because I have a dog named Kaige. lol Spelled differently but pronounced the same.

OOPS! The first picture did not load, so I thought there were only two pictures, and I voted wrong. A and B are crates and C is a kennel.

Our cats and dog are always let free when we leave cause they never get into anything - they all sleep, sleep, sleep - even Belle! But the plastic one I usually call a kennel and the metal ones with bars I call crates (sometimes). The word crate just sounds harsh for me, although I know they aren't, I just think kennel sounds much more pleasant.

I call A and B crates, and C a run. To me "kennel" is somewhere you board your dog while you are away.

Crate and kennel are pretty interchangable to me, C is a dog run. I usually refer to the real metal bar cages as crates, like what Autumn has. I use the command "kennel" because that is the word she knows.
