| I bought mine from Ebay years ago... It was metal and black and stands about 2 feet high. It was great. Wish I remembered the seller but it was so long ago. I am sure someone will have a link

| Congratulations on your new pup! I don't know the name of the one he bought but it is pretty common. It is like a gold wire. There are 8 sides with a door in one of the sides and it is 24" tall. We took on of the sides apart and attached it to his crate so it made it a little larger area. The sides can be shaped differently which worked good for us because it is up agains my entertainment center that is angled. The 24" tall is just enough for me to climb over and tall enough so I don't have to worry if he will ever be able to jump over the sides. Good luck!

| I have sent it on petedge.com and other websites. I think he bought it for around $50-$60.

| I don't know how crafty to you are, but I made my x-pen. It's just a pvc pipe frame, covered in chicken wire. I lay down a trash bag covered in newspapers for the floor.

| I placed a linoleum remnant under our ex-pen. It was about $10 at Home Depot.

| DUH! I cant believe I haven't thought of just making one! Thanks for the great idea! I have been looking for one to put outside when the pup(s) come. I haven't been able to make myself pay the price they want!

| After three tries, this is the pen I ended up with for Holly. She climbs out of everything else. Gracie shares it with her. They seem to love their new "room".http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...m?pcatid=14629

| i have this same pen...and i love it. it's the north state xt superyard. it's $89.99 at petsmart, but i bought mine on walmart's website for $54.97 + $5 tax. I had it shipped to the store for free so i could pick it up. that saved me $16 in shipping costs. anyway, petsmart robs you blind sometimes... buy it from walmart or toys r us (although it's still more expensive at toys r us than walmart).

| I have the same plastic one and got it from Wal-Mart on line. I also have a wire one for outside. I only use the outside one for when I am out there with him, and I move it around to what area of the yard I am in.

That looks ideal! And I like the fact that the mat can be used as a top for the pen when you are outside and a bottom for the pen to protect flooring when you are inside. I'm going to look into getting one of those for Logan. I'm just not sure where to put it, though | |
