Default Olive gets a new bed
Olive has been deemed mature enough to handle another fluffy bed (she destroyed her last one a couple months ago and since has used piles of blankets and bath sheets) and so here it is- I think she likes it

DH made the crate before we got her when we thought we were getting a slightly bigger dog, so it's a little over sized. She also can't be kept in there unsupervised since she figured out how to open the door on her own

**edit** you can right click 'view image' to make it large, the 'make it fullsize' function takes forever to load

My Olive here: Your hooman has mad crate makin' skillz! That's a pretty fantastic set-up you've got there. I especially like the bed. Looks super comfy.

Oh, and if I were you, I'd totally make hash-marks on the inside of that crate, to make visitors think I was imprisoned for long periods, in order to get extra sympathy cookies. Gullible humans would have no idea!

That is a killer crate! Wish my DH was that willing to do carpentry work. He much prefers fixing cars.

That is one impressive crate! Looks like she's enjoying the new bed too.

That's why we made it- not including the cost of the new pocket hole drill bit DH wanted anyway, it was only around 50-60.
The cheap ones you find online usually aren't as sturdy either (this one made it from Texas to Virginia in the back of a moving van, with a microwave inside and stuff stacked on top). I was also being picky about materials since I didn't want anything that would off-gas and make Olive sick.
