| I have this for my yorkies, I love it. Its not an eye sore, and very easyto use. You can put it up in a square, rectangle, circle, add or remove panel. It has a door. All the others do that also, but I like this one beacuse it looks nice, and functions like all the others and it is not tall. I put the wasable hospital bed pads in mine incase they have an accident. As for craes I use the soft crate with the mesh sides that also fold down, easy storage for car trips. The mesh on the pen and the crates hold up very well, at least they have for me. Hope this helps. http://www.dog.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=110190+024&Cat=

| Everyone's setups are so cute! I don't know if I just have an especially mischeveious yorkie or what...but a couple of things on what the others have: -The soft sided mesh pens and crates are great, as they are so portable and store easily...but I couldn't leave Emma alone in one for very long, because she would definitely either scratch or chew her way out. We have the hard plastic pen...I've attached a picture. I don't think it's TOO ugly, but it's not the prettiest either. -Also, if you have a jumper or a climber, watch where you put the crate inside the pen. Emma can get on top of hers and jump out! We used to put it in the corner of the pen, against the wall, but she's such a jumper we had to take it out! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali has the dog playpen and it has been great. She has never tried to get out and still goes into it to take naps sometimes and it was great for training her. Even Maya, my Pom,who has never been crated goes in it to nap once in awhile.

| Play Pen We have a pen that is make of fabric and mesh. We got it at Petsmart... it has bone cut-outs that are mesh. A little bit pricey, but very durable and also portable! |

| We got the hard plastic one from Petsmart.com. Shipping was free since I bought a bunch of other stuff at the same time-pretty good deal! They also have expansion packs if you want to make the pen bigger-just FYI. |
