Before we got Zoe Den and I both agreed that we would need to keep the puppy out of Zeeke’s crate, since he can sometimes get territorial about it. So from day one, even though the dogs got along great, I would lock the crate to prevent Zoe from going in, or verbally remind her to stay away. We didn’t want to have a dog fight on our hands.

Then one day Den and I are in bed and when I look around for the dogs I find Zeeke laying in the back of his crate, with Zoe laying right beside him. They both stared at me curiously. I still watch them, but Zeeke shows no signs of getting upset at Zoe in the least, they both happily cram themselves in there (which isn’t too hard, it’s a huge crate).
