| I've got a climber! Yesterday, I made an x-pen. Put a potty pad in it, and her food, and crate. Posted pics of it here. At first she tried to play with the potty pad, then later she was napping on it. I was relived though when she woke me this morning, she'd used the potty pad, both pee and poo. I went back to sleep, since she'd woke me quite early. When I woke the 2ond time, the little squirt met me in the hall! Not real sure how she climbed out, but she did! Seems to be her "little secret" cause she won't do this in front of me! Dunno if its back to square one or what now. I do have a piece of plywood that I can put across the doorway from kitchen to the hall. Plywood is harder to climb. Looks like I may have to put the plywood up at night, to at least keep her in the kitchen. I have no idea where she might have peed or pooped in the house yet, lack of coffee! But she pretty much filled he pee pee pad, with both pee and poop before the "great excape". Note to self.....Hardware cloth isn't good for xpens unless you want to teach them to climb... |

| LOL, good luck with the plywood. I have a jumper as well. I had to use two child proof gates, one on top of the other, to keep him in the kitchen until he was trained. He jumped over the one like it was nothing at 3 1/2 mos. |

| Well, I'll probably have to use the plywood till the end of the month. So many expenses go into a baby Yorkie when you first get them, with all the vet bills, and crates, right food, etc. And thanks for the "warm welcome" to the climbing club Sassypup! |

| Make sure when you prop up the plywood that it is secure and will not fall on your baby. A friend of mine had that happen to her puppy.
