| I don't have a photo but mine is a blk precision, what I did was ordered 2 ex pens (our girl is a climber so we cover the tops with the extra pieces which we HATE b/c it looks like a cage but it's better than her getting out and hurting herself) We hooked it up to the same material crate. The crate is her sleeping quarters, with two exit doors. One door leads to a tiny area consisting of only one panel where her pee pad sits. On the other door leads to a very long play area for her (all her toys and food is kept here). We decided to keep the pee pad area and play area thru seperate 'exits' b/c she would lay and roll around and toss her toys around the pee pad. Oftentimes she would even miss the pee pad area completly. Since we've done this, she pees and poos in the right spot. We love it so far and it does take up more room but it's ok. |

| I have two pens, one is a gold precision and I can't remember what the other one is. It is 24 by 24. I put down a shower curtain covering the entire floor of the pen. Then I have a sheet put down over that. And they have beds in one corner with pads in another corner. Toys are spread through out the pen, they have quite a few toys in their pen. And then they have a place for their food dish and they have water bottles hanging on the pens. I could never try a bowl of water with these guys. They would have it spilled and be soaked in less than a minute so they have to have the water bottles which works out great because they love them anyways. Here is a picture of the pen set up. I gave Sugar and Candy one big pillow bed because the other 4 beds that they had in there that were really nice were chewed to pieces. So they don't have a very nice bed now until they get out of the puppy chewing stage, lol. We are starting a new method next week. They will be crate trained. We tried it once but they weren't old enough then but they are old enough now. They are destructive little monsters when they are together, when they are apart they are little angels. So we will either put them in two sepearate crates or they will go in two seperate pens, we haven't decided yet which one we want to try. The boys pen look nicer but I don't have a picture of it at the moment. They have two really nice beds in theirs and plenty of toys and everything else. They are trained so they are only in the pen when we leave and they love their beds, never chewed on them once.

| I didn't take pictures of them when they were babies in their pen, but when Zada had knee surgery this is how I set it up then. I even put a foam pad down to help cushion the knees. On the end of that was a wee-wee pad. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...3June06001.jpg |
