Good morning I have yet another question??
« on: March 18, 2009, 02:13:22 am »
Good morning. I am wondering about the bedding in Sams bed. I got him a crate bed, it is nice and big and fluffy. Great for the winter. But as it is just starting to warm up a little here in Ohio he seems uncomfortable and a little hot on it. I have given him a fan but it is just now starting to warm up. What do you that have your fur babies sleep in crates do when it is warm? Is is ok for him to sleep just on the bottom tray thing (it is plastic) I give him a sheet and his towel when he is in the crate anyway. Would this prob be enough? I don't like to sleep too hot and I dont want him to be panting hot coming out of sleep. What do you think?  Thanks again,
Chris

When Athena is in her crate she just likes the plastic bottom.

Thanks folks,
I took the big fluffy bed out and gave him a lightweight blanket and his towel. So we will see how that works. I have never had this breed and although my Giant Mali was 136lbs she was never crated. Sam, on the other hand is good but kind of... in to things.  ;D
Thanks again, you are all so helpful.
