Smile Clever Mum! Crate cover...

Post by Jellytot Tue Dec 18 2012, 14:52

Just thought I'd share this - my mum is soooo clever.

This is what Ralph's crate looked like last week...

Clever Mum!  Crate cover...  B0E63CA4-5900-45FA-BD4E-FD0B590B28A3-1253-000001DF5EFD45D1

Today it looks like this!

Clever Mum!  Crate cover...  Aab6e61b3ba4a4fadd8ce36800784c76

She was fed up with the way it looked so made a nice crate cover out of some old material and I think it looks great. I know you can buy crate covers, but this is special because she made it!

Thanks Mum!!

That's what I said!

I did google crate covers, and clicked images, you should see some of the pictures of things people have made! Some of them have got curtains and all sorts!! HAHA!

Wow that's amazing Big Grin when I covered Loki's cage, he actually just managed to pull the towel through the gap and start chewing it Laughing so we'd benefit from this.

That's exactly what Ralph was doing... You'll see this cover is pulled really tight under so he can't chew it. It's actually sewn under the crate, but I suggested some elastic with velcro attached to it, to pull it tight if that makes sense... That way you could take it off, but mum said why would you need to take it off. True. There's only a couple of stitches anyway, so you could just unpick those if you needed to get it off for anything. Smile

My other half said 'That's brilliant. Why don't you spend some time with your mum learning how to do things like that instead of taking the dog to the pub with your dad?'

I can't answer that!!!

It's a large one from this company, however, I got it nearly a year ago now, and when I wanted to get a crate cover a couple of months back, they told me that they had very slightly changed the sizes, so the crate cover they now do wouldn't fit the crate I had.

Why they did that I don't know! angry

Anyway, I got Ralph the large one with a divider for when he was a pup so he didn't rattle around in there!

Oh wow this looks great makes it look more tidy and also would keep them warmer in the colder months too.

Only thing is I would put money down Duke would just eat it, think it would be a good idea for us to do it to Molly's though.
