The little fur friend needed a place to stay while we were all at work.  I felt bad having to kennel her up all day, but I just bought new white furniture that she is not allowed on.  Since she's like most all our other kids, we couldn't trust her to be left home alone.  (Ha ha...kidding kids!)  This was the perfect solution.  She's a little malteseshitzu and I wanted her to have plenty of roam to move around in there.  I purcahsed the medium crate and it is really much more room than she needed.  I was surprised at how large it really is.  I had the dimensions, but until you see it in person you just can't really tell.  It snaps up easily and folds down easily for storage, which makes it nice because you can just slide it right under the bed for easy storage.  It's nice and sturdy.  I bought it on clearance and couldn't believe what a deal I got!
