That is so nice for Lily. Charle has a friend who runs in the field on the farm next door and they love each other. He is a big boxer and a sweet dog. Never barks, just big and friendly.
I bought Charle a new crate to give him more room and I am not sure he likes it. It is very nice and the door opens like a garage door and gives you more room in the house. I love it. Poor Charle. Sometimes you can't win trying to please both people or dogs.
The new pad has not yet arrived so I kept his old pad from the old crate in it....that also makes him feel at home....hopefully.
