Argh.. Puppies!!!!

Ok so, after Ella came to wake me up this morning and promptly vomited on my bed, i realised (after having a dig through her bed) that she's chewed a hole in it and is slowly eating the contents. She's been sick a couple of times this week and its had this mysterious fluff in it. I know now why. Bad dog.
Im now worried about her having some kind of blockage, as there were bits of last nights dinner still in there too. I've kept an eye on her this morning, breakfast has stopped down and she's lively and happy as ever.. will 100% get her to the vet if there's any more sick or she looks even a bit unwell.

What i want to know is, when do you stop crating your puppies overnight? She is fully house trained and will sleep through the night but she's getting too big for her extra large crate and there's just not room in my house for a bigger one.

Also, can anyone recommend a tough bed that this monster wont get through?! This is the third now that she's destroyed.

Also, to show you what im dealing with here, how can i get mad at this face?!!

We stopped crating our spaniel overnight when she was about 8 months old. From 6-8months we left the door of the crate open if she wanted to wander around the kitchen and sleep on the floor (she likes to lie on the water pipe as the tiles on top of it are warm).

As for beds, the only bed that she hasn't destroyed is her Tuffies bed, bought it when we took the crate away 7 months ago and it's not got a single hole in it. It looks like new. We bought the wicking cover to go on top and it's fab, well worth the money. In the 8 months prior to buying it she destroyed 3 beds and a duvet... but hasn't touched this one.

You need a tuffie! Our doberman ate our caravan well all the soft furnishings, foam tastic but he hasn't got anywhere with his tuffie. Also the original type can be hosed down.

These look great!! And you promise me she wont destroy it?!! I think OH would have a coronary if he found out i'd spent £60 on a bed that she decided to eat and throw back up. :o
 
Solid sling like structure, comes with optional cover. Orthopaedic, fits multiple dogs. Can be taken outside and owed if needed or just wipes down. Even my extremely destructive Jake did not manage to destroy it.

Take comfort toast we have been there our great dane ate thru the wall from the utility room to dinging room in one night when she was a puppy. We had the surprise of our lives next morning and the plasterer was taking photos to show everyone. She also ate the staircase but that was a half hearted attempt:D This stage will pass honest:)

All I can say is it is the only thing the Doberman HASN'T managed to eat. And the hose ability is great. He has tried to eat it too, it's not that he hasn't tried. It was very tempting for him as I got him the giant one.
 
Tuffies all the way, teal digs and as soon as a bit of stuffing appears that it he pulls it all out!!

I bought the biggest waterproof tuffies and it fits the dog cupboard/ room worth it's weight in gold so easy to clean too.
