New Bed

We thought that our one night Easter trip would be a good opportunity to test the new collapsible crate. Buddy has been randomly getting fed in the collapsible crate and sleeping there occasionally. He had not spent an entire night in it though.

After setting it up and placing his blanket in the crate, Buddy found it a convenient location to rest before his evening walk. Bedtime went well with one small glitch. In the middle of the night I heard him move around in the crate which is normal. However, he put too much weight on the side and it tipped over. We learned a valuable lesson to place the crate in a location where it can't be tipped over.

The most difficult part was getting it to fit back in the package before we left. It wasn't as easy as it looked and no instructions. Eventually we were able to wrestle it back to it's original shape. So the crate has passed it's test and is ready for Denver. However, we always have a backup plan.
