    Dog Cage $80.00 (or more if you prefer)
    
    Large animal cage (as in big dog)...approx 5' x 3' x 3.5' heavy wire
    construction with about a 3" x 4" grid. Large locking door in front to 
    facilitate insertion and retention of dog...removal was no problem because 
    Maynard hated being in "the box". Has a pan that covers the entire floor 
    space for those inevitable oopses (marginally effective if the tail is
    wagging, if its a Lab....seek immediate shelter, their tails are deadly 
    when happy)
    
    Reason for selling - Maynard prefers sleeping in his outside insulated
    straw lined shingled and sided with a view dog villa to being boxed up in 
    the garage and all we are doing with it is storing stuff on top and not 
    storing a dog within. With a little clever re-engineering it could be used 
    as a have-a-heart trap for bears, mountain lions or neighborhood juvenile
    delinquents.
    
    Seriously, if you start a dog as a pup in these things and not use it
    as punishment they don't seem to mind, Maynard was a bit older when we
    were adopted by him and he views the thing as a form of cruel captivity.
    Besides, being a Siberian Husky anything warmer that 40 below and winds
    less that 30 knots is bikini weather to him. If Maynard could'nt get
    out neither will your dog. It does dismantle to a more managable set
    of panels approximately 3' x 5' maby 5" deep.
    
    I gave $100.00 right here in Colorado_classifieds less than a year ago
    but to avoid a bidding war I'll let it go for $80.00 firm. Some assembly 
    required and dog not included.
    

    revised size, used a tape measure rather than swag
    
    4' deep, 3' high and 2'4" wide, all else the same
