It does certainly sound like the issue here is the crate. Have you tried just gating her off in a room. Or maybe using an xpen? Is she pretty trustworthy loose in the house ( when you're there)? Try just gating her in a room and see what happens. Who knows what happened in her short past. <BR>
Angelika~ who starts off most her mornings much like yours except for the crate part. Here it usually involves the couch ( covered) or a dogbed. Or the floor. Oh the many many places poop can be...Elvis gets bathed more regular than I.<BR> </div></body>
