| Sof-pen escapee Does anyone else have a sof-pen for their yorkie? I crate my little guy at night but during the day I have a sof-pen for him to give him more room. He keeps escaping under the joints and I am worried about his safety (I pretty much have the downstairs puppy proof though). Should I complain to the manufacturer? I paid over a hundred dollars with shipping and it doesn't do much good if he can get out. I think when he gets bigger (he's 4 mths old now and weighs 2.5 lbs) he won't be able to squeeze under. Here's what it looks like. I tried placing my husbands 5 lb weights under each spot but he somehow was able to push it out of the way. I should have named him Houdini instead of Dylan. http://www.goodsforyou.biz/pens.html Anybody have any ideas on what I can do? |

| That would make me mad too. It looks pretty lightweight. if it is, then he might always be able to escape. I wonder why the didn't make it go clear to the floor. My only suggestion would be to retun it. |

| this is the same pen i have and Buttercup can't even find a way to get out. Maybe it depends on the size of your pup. How much does he weigh? Buttercup is a little over 3 months and he is approx 1.14lbs |

| Look at this and see if you can figure out how she got up here. I left kizzy here alone the day after I brought her home to go get her a crate. I put her in the bottom of this old laundry basket and put a big old pillow on top of it and her bed on top of it and pushed them together. when I got back , look where I found her. she was 6 weeks old and 1 lb. I still havent figured this one out. lol she must be magic too.

| I personally don't like soft pens for a few reasons. They are lightweight and not very sturdy. Also having a puppy they like to chew on everything which would include the soft pen. I would try contacting the manufacturer if I were you, after all it is not doing its job like it is suppose to.
