Xpens or crate to trade for stuff

Posted : 10/17/2008 8:06:11 AM

I'm looking for any old and/or beat up xpens that anyone would want to trade for.

The other item I could use is a dog crate that is 22" tall at least. Preferably not a ton taller but my tallest dog is 21" at the withers and I'm looking for another crate that will fit in my van to haul the dogs in.

I have a huge dog bed that is camo colored that would fit a great dane crate that I'd be willing to trade for. The bed is the bumper kind and in good shape, I can even wash it before shipping. Wink

I can also trade an agility jump, a curved ball throwing thing, or other various dog toys.

I will pay for shipping on the crate/xpen minus shipping on the trade items because I'm sure the crate/xpen would be more expensive to ship.

No harm in trying right? Big Smile

what's the length measurement on the bed? Cleo's crate is 48" L

I'll have to double check to be sure but it's definitely longer than 36 inches because it's way too big for my 36" L crate. I had to bend up both sides and quite a bit of the back as well to get it to fit and Tasha hated it. It crowded her too much, lol.. and that was in a crate that is slightly longer than 36" because it's an old, old, old crate.

You can see the crate and bed here. The crate that I tried to put it in was the silver one, which is longer than 36" because the black one is definitely 36". Shadow is just being silly lol....

It's in good shape and I'll vacuum and wash it before shipping. :)

I found a pic to show what I was trying to describe above.

I don't know if it's appropriate to post this since it's not "free" but I recently bought two pretty nice expens (I think) for only $30 each. They are actually taller than I was expecting (which is good).

Lowe's is having a pretty awesome sale on crates and carriers.
