Out of interest,I must ask,( morbid curiosity....how on earth do you cope...!)do they all sleep in the kitchen?Are they all inside dogs?Ours are all inside overnight and not crated,but we have an integral double garage with loads of room,and sometimes I'm tempted to put them in there overnight.Certainly would be ok in the Summer.Would be nice not to have to face tumbleweed hair balls every morning!And getting knocked sideways as I come down the stairs!!
