Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Could you share pix of where your Yorkie stays/plays? Hey guys! I am curious...can any of you post pix of your Yorkie's crate/x pen/play area set up in your home? I am thinking about our set up in our home for our future Yorkie. I know I want it to be in the kitchen since the floor in there is easy to clean up in case of accidents. Of course I want our baby to have free roam of our home once she is potty trained and at play, but she will need a place to sleep and to stay any time we are not at home. I plan on taking her most everywhere I go if at all possible. But I do know there may be times when she may have to be at home by herself for just a little bit. Thanks for any input you can give me! Happy Labor Day everyone!

| I don't have any pictures, but I can describe what I had for my boys when they were pups. Max had a single xpen, 4' square. He had a bed in one corner and a piddle pad in the opposite corner. Toys and a water dish/water bottle. Teddy was 8 months old when he came to us. He had 2 xpens connected for a much larger area, an open wire crate to house his bed, piddle pad, toys and water.

| Also, for Teddy's crate, I covered the top with a fluffy towel to make it seem more den like, his safe place.

| I had this x-pen for Riley which I ordered from petedge.com. I had his bedding/play area at one end and his peepee pad on the other. He now has full run of my place.... I live on the 5th floor of a building in the city.... I have a peepee pad in a corner in one of the purina second nature doggie litter boxes...just in case he needs to go when I am not home. I also bought a diaper genie to put any used pads so there is no smell. |

| I have a crate with blankets & a stuffed toy in it for SHield. It is in the kitchen. I have the kitchen gated off to help control when I let him come out. Right now he is allowed to hang out with us in the kitchen, downstairs bathroom(it's off the kitchen),dining room, & living room with no problem. He is doing well, he earned it! When we leave, i walk the dogs so they don't have to potty then put him in the crate & leave. & i don't use the pads. I just take them out frequently. Does that make sense without pictures? |

| Here's a picture of my babies' place. They stay in there when I'm out, but they sleep in my room with me at night. I had to put up a fence because Emma jumped out one time!

| I have her crate in a corner of my bedroom where she can see both me and the wife in bed (I can lift my head up and make eye contact if needed) and my other two dogs in their crate. I have a pillow-pad that covers the entire bottom of the crate for cushioning. No pee-pads as I don't want to encourage going in the house at all. She's been home a little over a week now with no accidents and this weekend she's started going straight outside when I let her out in the morning. Very proud of her. When she's up, she has run of the house and she typically lounges somewhere where one of us is at. No favoritism on her part thus far (which frustrates me no end..lol). She'll lay by me at the desk, by the ottoman and the kids watching TV or under the kitchen table if the wife is working on the laptop over there. |

| We have an adjustable exercise pen set up in the corner of the livingroom with her bed, food, toy box and rascal potty box. I call it her condo. She can see our bed from there so works out very well. We open the pen door when home and she is allowed only in the livingroom and Kitchen area which are connected. We close our bedroom door. I will try and upload a picture sometime today so you can check my album photos. This has worked excellent and we are having very good luck. I also have a bells hanging from the front door so she can ring when she wants to go out. Good luck Molly's Mom

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | We also used the adjustable x-pen for Brielle until about 2 months ago. She is 1 1/2 now. Now she stays in the gated kitchen with her brother when we are not home. For bed time she has always slept in a child's pack and play that I got at a consignment store. I have her bed and blankets in there and a pad just in case. Most night she does not use the pad but occasionally she has to go. This pic is her in her bed in her pack and play

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Wow! What amazing spaces! I am really loving all of these set up's and I like the term 'condo.' LOL! I think I will call ours the puppy condo too! That is too cute! I really like all of your x-pens and the pack & play thing is a great idea too! Thank you all for sharing your spaces!!!
