| X Pen Help Please! We need an XPen and I am having a hard time figuring out the best one to get. I can't have anything too big cause I just don't have the room but I need one to put in our kitchen. I also thought maybe this spring I could put it in the yard while we are gardening. I don't want Ginger to get in to anything while I'm not watching but at least she could be out there with us. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good xpen that is reasonably priced? Please help! Thanks in advance!

| You can find expens on-line at sites such as petedge.com-jbwholesalepets.com, or google-ex-pens. I have the gold mesh one that is 2' x 2' tall. I took the pen apart and actually attached it to his crate to enlarge the area. I now have 2 crates in it. There is a cover you buy for the top or use it for a floor too. Others have said that their dogs have climbed out of the expen. I've not had that problem. They do have taller pens. I do not know how much it was as hubby ordered over a year ago online. Here is ours:

| I have the same one. I bought the one that's 36 in. high thinking maybe when Piper got older she might jump over the 24 in. one. What is nice is that you can take sections out of it and make any size that you want. I ended up buying another pen for the outdoors and added the panels that I wasn't using in the house. Piper is 9 months old and I don't use the xpen at all anymore in the house so I took those panels and added them to the outside pen. Now she has a nice size outdoor pen. Right now I put it at the end of our deck and I can stand at the glass door and watch her as she does her potties. I hated standing outside when it was 0 degrees , waiting for her to find the perfect spot to go. This way I stay warm, she sees me and does her business quickly so that she come back inside with me.

| I love my Seabreeze pen. I had a heavy Midwest pen for years that I gave away after I got my Seabreeze. SeaBreeze Petite Pens - A lightweight solution to heavy exercise pens |

| Thanks everyone! I went to Petsmart and Petco this morning doing some price shopping. I also looked online. Looks like the best deal is online. I appreciate your help and thanks to "Mom to Hot Rod" for posting the pic. That really helps!

| I got mine on Ebay. They had the best prices when I was looking. I actually bought it for my bunnies to live in but sadly, don't need it for that anymore so we are now using it for our puppy. They work great! Love the way you can configure them to meet the needs of your area. |
