[PyrNet-L] crates



Hi guys,  Kathy was really concerned about Heidi injuring herself in the crate after some of the posts sometime ago.   We have an, el grande, from MidWest Co..   It is a foldable one so we were somewhat nervious about her popping it partially open and getting caught.   My solution is one that cost a few cents.   I've purchased plastic cable ties and used them up and down the front and back sides and across the top.    This has really stiffened up the crate.  They are available just about every where and can be trimed or removed with scissors.    We also have the crate in one of the doorways into the kitchen so it would be hard for her to rock it side to side.
        'Course her shape shifting personna has yet to emerge so she hasn't learned to unlock the crate.    We're starting to let her out when we go out for little trips and has the run of the kitchen area with 'Bear.    Either of them could easily knock down the gates baring them but haven't.    I'm sure there will be a day when we come home and find them both on the bed.
