I agree, and just like you I am always thinking about my hounds, so what I do to remedy her going apeshit in the crate while she is in heat, I would walk her a few miles in the morning (and yea this really sucks 0400 in the morning :evil before I go to work just to burn off that energy and put a Nylabone in there, and have some tai-chi tunes turned down low in a dark room while I am away It's only until she comes off her cycle then put her back out with the pack.
