I took Rosie out to our gazebo for some afternoon sun. It is a really nice day, not too hot or humid and she was completely soaked from our shower.
I have taken her out in her new crate a few times this summer. She didn't love it, but went along. I put a rope perch in last week and she decided NO WAY! I let that go but today she wasn't getting any sun in her window and was wet and shivering. So I just put her in (with much protesting from Rosie) and we came outside. She is now a very happy diva. Sunning and preening as happy as can be.

*** I do want to make a note about the crate size. We have gotten her a new fairly small dog crate for transport and short outside visits. Mind you she has an outside cage and an outside x large dog crate that we no longer use. I got her the smaller size so I can load her up in the house and not have her out until we are back in again. We had a near disaster last year and I don't want to risk carrying her outside uncrated. Since I am on the small side, I can't lug the big one without banging her around. So I am aware that in most cases this crate would be way too small for a GW. But in this case, I figure it is better than nothing.
