tek is a picky little bastard that doesnt like change very much i dont think,... but i thought this little doggy house was hella cool when i saw it at super walmart so i had to get it,..when i brought it home,..i put one of my pillow's in it so he can sense it was somewhat a familiar place because he likes to sleep on my pillows,...right when i did that,..he crawled right in and laid down and knocked out for a good half an hour before he woke up,..so now he has a new place to sleep while im out of the house
