DressAfford vintage styled items to wear for cocktail party

Has anyone had any experience with getting rid of their dog's crate? Aurora was crate trained for the first year and a half + but for the past 3 months she hasn't been locked up in it. The crate is still up and she goes into it when she thinks we are leaving or if she thinks she is getting a bath, having ears cleaned, or nails clipped etc... basically she goes in to pout and hide from undesirable but necessary hygiene exercises. If the crate just disappears but her "bed" remains do you think I will have issues? I can leave the crate if it's better for her, I just feel she has outgrown the crate as we no longer have to lock her in it.... DressAfford vintage styled items to wear for cocktail party
