Pets in the coach

I say "kennel up" and Nicky trots right to his crate. He will sometimes stop at the door and look up to see if I really mean it, but he is quite happy once he goes inside. Like a parrot, we drop a cloth over the crate so it is dark and he will sleep until we get back. When we are all in the RV he mostly sleeps anyway so it is really not new to him! When we work at Amazon our shift is 10 hours. While we know he can stay 10 hours in his crate we do not want to come home and then kennel him again so that we can sleep and if we let him roam, he is unaware or unmindful of the fact that we need sleep! He wants his walk and his food and his play time. On those occasions we put him in the bedroom with his crate open if he cares to go inside. We close the sliding door and turn the radio on to help distract him from outside noises. He usually jumps up on the bed and snoozes until we get home. He gets a short walk, a small bit of toy tossing and then off to his crate so we can all sleep. Works for us.
