Here she is sleeping kind of funny. I don't know if you can tell but her head is actually side-ways, doesn't look to comfortable to me...
I felt bad because she couldn't go anywhere so decided I could give her a good grooming.. I think she might be blowing her coat because we took off a lot of hair lol.. It doesn't look that big in this pic but I could have filled a grocery bag about half way with this stuff lol.
Egypt also got a grooming.. her pile is the small one on the right haha. Oh and I didn't mean to lay out all the grooming tools all display like.. they just fell like that ha.
And here she is the pop-up tent like crate we bought at Target for 25 dollars. The first day we had to leave Lola home we were running a little late and when I unplugged my computer the charger fell off the desk and landed a little too close to where Lola was on tie-down... Well she got a hold of it but not too much damage was done and Darrell was able to fix it so no damage :) Point though is we wanted to make sure it didn't happen again so when Ro had mentioned this crate in one of her posts I went out and got one. We figured we could always use it for traveling with Egypt or even when my puppy gets a bit bigger so we don't have to worry about lugging around a huge crate. I like it and as you can tell so does Lola :)
Here is another angle of it so you can see how big it is.. about a foot is hidden by my night stand so it's pretty roomy, the thing says its good for dogs up to 70 lbs. I think the dimensions are 22 X 22 X 36 so its a decent size, wish it was a little taller but I guess they have to make it a square so it folds right lol. Thats where the real challenge will be. It is supposed to fold up like the window shade things for cars do.. I've never been able to figure those out so we'll see. Wish me luck!

Oh good, I'm so glad the crate is working out! I haven't tried to fold it up again. I'm not sure I ever will lol! I don't know if you noticed, but there's a way to belt it in to a car, too. Pretty cool. Hope Lola gets to feeling better!
Haha yeah, I'm hoping it will fold up nicely, otherwise I will just wind up shoving it back in that bag as best I can lol. I like the buckle up feature it has, extra safety is always good lol. We put Egypt in the very back of the car though so yeah.. we can probably figure out a way to rig it up back there if we ever need to. I'll be folding it up on Monday so if you don't get to it before then I'll let you know how it goes lol.
The crate is not too hard to fold back up - but mine didn't come with anything to secure it. So, you twist it up then try to keep it closed while trying to get it back in its display pouch thingy. Add an excited puppy in there and you may get a face full of pop up crate! Fun fun!
Poor Lola with the pano! Not a fun thing to have!
Poor Lola!
Hope she feels better soon,
That "pop up crate" looks pretty interesting!

Wow, you are getting all kinds of experience while waiting for your puppy! We're so sorry about Lola's leg...hopefully it will get better soon?? How long do you have Lola? She seems sweet. :-)
I know.. never just a normal dog situation huh? Hope I get an easy puppy lol.. I'm just worried about potty training.. I know accidents will happen but with the entire apartment being carpet.. that's just not a good thought lol.. Oh well, Nature's miracle will get me through it!!
Lola is very sweet :) We are taking her back on Monday and I think she'll go to jail after that because her raisers aren't coming back till the 8th or something.. lol
Yes, here's to an "easy" first puppy! For what it's worth -- in my (limited!) experience, potty training is the easiest part, so don't sweat it. Yeah, those enzyme cleaners are great!
I think that pile of hair looks quite big! And I have all those same grooming tools! I think I'm going to have to get one of those Target crates. We hardly ever use a crate anymore so I don't want to get a big ol' plastic one that takes up so much space.
WOW - looks like you got a ton of hair out of her! I love the crate - had one for Ellie, but she figured out how to unzip the crate and let herself out. So, I gave it to a friend. Glad Lola does so well in it and I hope her limp isn't anything serious!
