| Help Sophie somehow got out of her playpen I left her alone for a less than 2 hours and somehow she got out of her playpen, there's no holes, no way to climb that I can see. I'm at a loss... she's tiny only 3.5 lbs and 12 weeks old, I can't imagine she jumped? Could she? She doesn't seemed hurt at all just really tired. Please let me know if your pups have done an Houdini move and how? Geeze I was so surprised. Thanks and warm regards, Rose |

| My Lily was tiny about 3 lbs when I brought her home. I went to the store, came home and she was waiting for me out of her playpen. I scolded both children thinking they had taken her out. When they swore to me they did not, I decided to peek through the window the next time I went out. Sure enough, I watched her climb right up the mesh in about two seconds.

| Oh Man I am in trouble if she is a climber... I'd hate to put her in a crate. I'm so afraid she'll get hurt from the jump down. Does anyone know of a cover for playpens? |

| I'm almost sure they have covers for the playpens. I would get in touch with the manufacturer. Oh and btw Zach also climbed the mesh on the playpen. They are very sneaky these little devils. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | They make playpens for pets with tops that zip on. I switched to those after Tallulah escaped from her regular playpen shortly after I brought her home. The little dickens could jump high enough to catch the top with her front paws and scramble over. Here's an example of one currently on ebay: Purple Pet Dog Cat Tent Puppy Playpen Exercise Pen XS - eBay (item 280644124863 end time Mar-21-11 10:48:40 PDT) This is not the vendor I bought from -- but if you search on dog playpen you will find a bunch of these listings for soft pens in different sizes and colors. |

| Your pup probably climbed up the mesh. You'll just need a top... Ellie jumps out of hers.

| Hope Sophie is ok. my Sassy can jump over a 4 foot gate we have in the house to keep her confined with the other dogs in the kitchen. My husband had to raise it up another foot, but if she tried hard she could probably jump over this. She weighs 6 lbs. Tessie was a little houdini when she was 13 weeks and 3.5 lbs. She is too fat now.
