[nagdu] dogs and mosh pits don't mix

Mark,

I have a fabric crate big enough for your dog if you want it.  I got it 
for Monty to be used in my office, but never used it.  It's big, like 
really huge, maybe 3 by 4 by 3 feet.  It folds down flat, but still is 3 
by 4 so you could easily slide it under a bed.    The fabric is a canvas 
sort of stuff with some sort of waterproof coating.  I wouldn't use it 
in a heavy downpour, but for a small bit of moisture it would be fine.  
There are screens for ventilation.  It zips to close.  I'm sure a dog 
who was intent on getting out could chew through, but if your dog is 
crate trained and relatively calm in a crate, he should be fine.

Anyway it's just taking up room in my basement, so if you want it let me 
know.
