| Hey, look what I discovered! :) I've been folding a twin sheet (flat) in half to line the pen for Luna, so if she misses the pee pad or spills any food, it's not on the carpet. Plus my carpet is pretty old and I hated to think of her being in contact with it all the time So today I was behind on laundry, and ran out of the flat sheets to use. I change her pen every day, I know I'm an obsessive paranoid Mom! I got a bright idea and used a fitted sheet! It keeps her from kicking her kibbles all over the place too, under my bed, etc.. Why didn't I think of this two weeks ago? I've been crawling under my bed to pick up the kicked kibbles Anyhoo, the pen is an eight panel small-sized gold-colored zinc wire. The sheet fits perfectly, and it'll stay where I put it too! |

| Lol, great minds think alike!!! I use a fitted sheet too, I have been using one for a long time. I have a pen just like yours and put a big bed in it, the pads, toys and bowls in it. All of this is untop of the fitted sheet. I also used the fitted sheet by accident. I went to my grandma's and took the girls with me and their pen and everything with it. But I grabbed the wrong sheet, I grabbed a fitted sheet. Turns out it worked even better, with the regular sheet they could put the sheet back into the pen and put the sheet in one corner, what smart little buggers they are. So now I use a fitted sheet and it works so much better. The only difference is, I put newspapers under the fitted sheets that way if they happen to miss the pad or spill their water, the newspaper will catch it and the rug will be safe. With the sheet over the newspaper they can't tear up the newspaper either. I love the arrangement I came up with, it works perfectly and the setup of the pen looks so nice. Everyone always teases me saying they wished they were my dogs because they get treated like royalty and have such a nice setup. I am glad you discovered the fitted sheet too, I never thought to tell anyone about what I discovered!! I have mine set up very similar to yours except my pen doesn't have a door, I wish it did. But it is probably the same size as yours and is the same color. I keep it in a circle though instead of a rectangle. Your pen looks very nice and is set up nicely too, I am sure she loves having her pen that way!!

| Hey where did you get your pen? I am looking for something just like this for Irie. I keep her in our bathroom right now but she is starting to eat my woodwork! I want a pen with a top like that but I can't seem to find one that is big enough for her to play in all day that she won't climb out of. Thanks
