Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have one I used when pixie had her lp surgery. My 3 girls thought it was fun to sleep in for awhile. I took it out in the front yard and put them in it while I cleaned out my car. I think it is good for short periods of confinement.

Have used the xpen also, still do. I bought the first one 6 pcs I think come to one. And then bought 4 more pcs to expand it. I used that sometimes around the pool to keep them away from the pool but to still be outside with us. | |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | My pen isn't for babies but is a soft sided, zipper top ex-pen. I've used it numerous times when we're traveling, in hotel rooms, spending a day at our favorite swimming place on spring creek, and here at home to confine one that is sick, a foster that has had surgery, etc. It's great to have!

| No, it is not too confining. Just don't depend on it to replace the housetraining that you need to do. They are a great place to keep them safe and confined when you are too busy to keep an eye on them. It's also much better than potty accidents all over the house.

| I found this one. It is better to have vertical bars rather than horizontal bars so they can't climb out and perhaps hurt or break a leg jumping down. Many do that! ?Dog Pen Puppy Pen Dog Crate Kennel Playpen Blue Pet Pen CLS-960 | eBay

| I was thinking the same thing. I have two playpens from my kids. I was going to try having one upstairs in my bedroom. |

| I got a baby play yard for my little blind maltese. That is where she sleeps every night and stays if I have to leave during the day. I don't leave her out when we're not there because I'm afraid she willl get hurt. She seems to love it. |

| I got the plastic baby play yard for my little blind maltese. She sleeps in it every night and stays in it if I have to go somewhere. She is 2 yrs old now and seems to love it and has never chewed on it but she is not a chewer anyway. I don't leave her out when we are not right there because I'm afraid she will get hurt. Although she went missing the other day and I found her in my computer home up on the bed I put in there. I've got steps up to it but they are too short (the bed is pretty tall) but there McKenzie was all sacked out. |
