Baileys, Maen and the Crates

We have only started crate training the furkids today. Had been too preoccupied with packing and forgot about the crates totally till Mr Liow decided to bring the crates out once and for all. No more time for procrastination.

Maen took to the crate immediately and slept in hers the moment I put the top and bottom together. Didn't even have to tell her to do it. Baileys did as asked when I pointed to the crate and told him to 'sleep'. It seemed easier this time. They seem to remember their crates and didn't need time to smell or explore it any further. Both of them have to sleep together and that's THE problem. Baileys sees Maen walking into her crate and followed her in. And both of them laid down comfortably together. Asked Baileys to go into his own by pointing to it, he looked at me, and then walked right into Maen's. He seems to prefer Maen's crate coz he would sleep in it even when Maen was somewhere else.

Oh well, getting them to sleep in the crate is step 1 and their response proved half the work is done. We only have to get Baileys to like his own crate, fix up the gates to shut them inside while they sleep and we're almost set to go.

Praying that both of them will survive this trip back and the quarantine. Pray that the aircon in Sembawang Quaranine Centre is strong enough and that both of them will soon adjust to Singapore heat and humidity again.

We're going home, real soon.
