While at work Izzy is in her huge x-pen with Animal Planet on.
Inside that x-pen on one side are her pee-pads and then on the other side is her hooded bed, food, toys, etc. The x-pen is down in our family room with carpet and she never pees on the carpet only the pee pads so that's good for us. Also the cat peeps come down to keep her company too.
We are gone a long time and she's always so good....even if I knew she could hold her pee/poo in all day I wouldn't let her free....I'm so scared that she could get into something by accident. This way I know she is safe and sound.
I was also reading another thread about pet-cams and I am thinking about that too.
