Ever since day one I'm living in my house my dogs have always had their own bedroom that they share as the dog room. Since it's traditionally a bedroom it had carpet in there. After living here couple years it was definitely time for that carpet to go especially after Benji potty training in my house. He really has been good about that except for that room and it wasn't accident peeing it was more of him marking. The new set up is essentially the same as the old. Just with 12"x24" porcelain tile. (See previous post) One thing I have realized though this last week is that Benji has no problem being in a plastic crate even, if it's just big enough for him. And he seems to be calmer in it than the wire one. I went to tractor supply and got the a new one that was the next size up, which is the middle crate (size large 36" crate). I also got new beds for all the dogs since they were on sale. I did shift the crates closer to the wall to so I didn't need the dividers between each crate since they had more space. And generally sydalee doesn't get locked up during the day lately so I turned her crate to the side and open the side door. Before I've always it tied the shut because she such a jailbreaker but she does do better out of her crate with her separation anxiety. And said she'll probably be walking in and out of the room so she'll have access to the hallway I figured I'd put Benji back in the middle. He was in the middle once before and it didn't go so well but maybe that was partly because of the wire crate? it's always easy enough to shift the crates around if need be.... But I'm sure the change will have them playing musical crates for a couple days trying to figure out where they belong Lucy should be OK since she's in the same spot. 
Here is the before to refresh your memory
So glad to have the carpet out of this room!
