It's funny that you suggested that, because last night we had a storm so I knew there was no way she would use the washroom if I took her outside. Instead, I put her crate inside her exercise pen, and lined the exercise pen with newspaper. This worked well, and she did get up a few times during the night and make a bit of noise, but she settled back down pretty quickly and the noise wasn't as intense. The only thing that worried me is that she somehow got on top of her crate to try and get out, although the exercise pen is too high for her to get out of. I'm worried that she'll hurt herself jumping back down off the crate.
Maybe I'll line her pen with pee pads so it won't make as much of a mess. |
