Crate training a 10 week old puppy?

We have had our lil boxer for 2 weeks now. Everyday since she has been placed in her crate and everyday she cries for at least a half hour if not more! We have a 2 yr old bulldog the we crate trained and no problems at all. In fact he loves his crate. This new puppy is murder. We tried putting the crate in our room, downstairs so she couldn't see us, blankets over the crate, comfortable bedding, toys and our own shirts! The worst part is once she gives in she sleeps for at least 4-6 hours before waking up to go outside... She just hates it in the beginning! I don't know what else to do. My fianc� is ready to scream since he can't sleep and there are times she gets sooo upset I'm afraid she is going to hurt herself! I truly believe in crate training but this lil thing wants nothing more then to snuggle and touching her family! If anyone has had this experience or problem... Any suggestions would help! Thanks in advance!
