Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 9 months old | 4 lbs
Our little precious has been lately sleeping in our closet. She did it in the past but not so often and nowadays she found a way to get in it and sleep in it. Is it normal for her? Should I be worried? Also do you have any recommendations for crates (plastic or metal)?

Bella is possibly seeking warmth, comfort and darkness in the closet. Provided this is safe place for her and you are comfortable with it, I do not see a problem with her sleeping there. Regarding the crates, my personal preference is for plastic crates for a dog of Bella's size. The most important thing in choosing a crate is to make sure that it is large enough for her to stand up and turn around.
