Update:
Gruoch is so happy with her soft kennel, that she doesn't bother coming out to greet me, when I return to the car.
It is cosy and warm in the kennel, and she can view me in the driving seat without moving.
Regardless, I'm counting this as a success.
@gairsty
Her first one was a Maelson, size XL (I think), 92 cm long. The second one is by Fauna, and is 91cm long.
@fitheach which kennel has she got?
