Let me tell you a little story.

It all started with a puppy.  A tiny puppy.

Who clearly won our hearts.

We got her a kennel so she would have a place to sleep.

Let's try that again.  We got her...the PUPPY...a kennel so she would have a place to sleep.

They think they're pretty clever.  For the record, little ones can lock themselves inside kennels.  Please, don't tell the CPSC.  They might recall the kennel.  The kennel which clearly some of my family members love.

Just for kicks and grins, we're going to try this one more time.  We got the DOG a kennel.

Which eventually she was allowed to use too.
