Good luck Jan and don't worry about the metal cage or kennel. Our English bull dog sleeps in one each night. We say Sammy go to your room and she runs right into it with a toy and she usually goes right to sleep. I put old blankets or sheets (depending on the time of year) in the kennel. It's good to train her so she knows that when she's in there it's either nap time or quite time.

Let us know how you fare at the rhemys office.

Hugs to all
