I had got a white gated play yard for Bailey but I ended up returning it to Wal-Mart because it was too bulky and it wasn't easy to fold up and put back up every day.......but I'm thinking would it be that much trouble if I would get a metal pen and put the vinyl bottom (or whatever type bottom) as some are suggesting, but will it be a lot of trouble for me to pick up everyday and I think the hassle would be more than I would want but I don't know................ I think I am going to go with the pet gear playpen though, thats is what I am leaning towards and it wouldn't be bad if I would keep it set up in a bedroom because it looks like a child's playpen so I think I am going to go with that that..
I measured our sofa from the seat of the sofa down and its 18-19'' and Bailey tries to hop onto the sofa but he can't and being that the height of the playpen is 26'' I think it will be ok for him and I am getting the large size one 36lengthx36width so I think that would give him enough room.....I guess I will see when it comes it.
WISH ME LUCK YOU GUYS!!!
Thank you so much for all of ya'll opinion....I just hope I made the right decision
