That's the litter box on top of Mochi's crate. I wasn't sure that Charlie would be willing to jump up there to use it, but luckily for me...

I had a world of problems keeping my dogs out of it. You've surely experienced this before, given the number of cats and dogs you've had in various places at various times...?; February 15, 2012 at 3:23 PM

It certainly wouldn't work for bigger dogs (or little ones that are better-proportioned for jumping), but I think I've found a solution that works for us.; February 15, 2012 at 5:27 PM

My pets are Charlie the cat (she's a girl, despite her name and her amazing 'stache) and Mochi the dog. They have their own Facebook page, located here.
