I agree. While I'm anxious to move the crate out of the bedroom, I'm
never wanting the DOG out of the bedroom. I have a small bedroom, and
have had smaller. I manage to squeeze 3 retrievers in there anyway
(Lucy helps by sleeping UNDER the bed most of the time), and when
there's a puppy, there's a crate. I have a few bruises during that
period of time, but it's brief. Marcie only spent 1.5 months in a crate
in the bedroom before being given bedroom freedom.
