I have probably made it sound a lot worse than it is. I put the order in what caused this deal...
-She use to stay in the crate all the time
-we started letting her stay out
-she started bolting out of the door when she knew we were leaving
-we put her back in the crate
-She was locked in the plastic crate on day with a feather pillow
(my wife's brilliant idea)
-It was demolished.
-she learned she could tear stuff up in the crate
-she learned she could tear up the crate
-chewed a HOLE in it
-a friend kept her for a couple of days
-he put her in the colapsable crate for 4-5 hours
-demolished...twice
I have just let it get too far out of hand.
She was crate trained as a pup, so this will not be as hard to do again. I just have to be sure to do it again, thouroghly.
that or make bratwurst out of her...
