MORE success! & Advent Day 8

Well, it was another Agility Nuts day today, and we did super well! Coming home with one 3rd, one 4th and a clear round is great! We got a medal for the 3rd as well as a rosette!


Earl sporting the new additions to our ever-growing collection!
It was such an exciting, fulfilling day!

We also tested out the Soft Crate… it was a great buy! I also bought Earl another of his Christmas presents today… shhh, don't tell…. not until Christmas Day!!

And… whoa! The 8th day of advent already!

Review Time - Lazy Bones Soft Crate & Advent Calendar Day 7

Hi y'all! 

Today we have a great long review for you to read - and its all about the Soft Dog Crate from Lazy Bones in which we purchased from eBay (the link will take you to a Google Pet Crazy site however, as we purchased the last one from eBay! The product is available to buy from other retailers). This arrived the other day in a HUGE box - but was folded up right at the bottom?! I taught my little Earl man how to go in on command and lie down, and I even found him going in all by himself out of choice later into the evening! 

The real test will be tomorrow, when we travel to Agility Nuts. These will be the shows where we use the crate in the winter season. Of course, you don't have to just use this great crate (haha! It rhymes!) for protecting your dog from the cold. It can act as a great sun shield, a car carrier for ease and comfort of canine transportation, or simply to act as your dogs forever-bed area in your home.


The bare crate next to its case. 


Earl is 1ft & 15in at the shoulders and here he is in comparison to the crate.

Lazy Bones is a reliable make.

Green eyes loves his new crate!!!

We put his car cushion in with it for comfort.

The crate is strong and includes many features. These include:

A roll up door at the front back and both sides;
A storage pocket on either side;
Loops of fabric to put the pegs in to keep it on the ground (pegs come with);
Soft mesh for ventilation and so that the dog can see out a little if needed;
A handle to carry on the top;
Pads on the bottom so the crate stays put;
Can be folded up into its bag;
Is carpeted;
Includes velcro for strapping.

Pros of the product…

Velcro included
Warm
Ventilated
Strong
Durable 
Comfy
Soft
Transportation friendly
Adequate delivery time period
Fair price
Variable sizes

Cons…

A little heavy for carrying, especially if you order the largest size

If I could change one thing to improve this product, I would make the framing lighter.

Earl and I give this product a 5/5 bone rating!

And hey… we're not forgetting our online Advent Calendar!
