Hello!

We have our 12 wk old Mariah confined in our really big bathroom. The pee pad training is just not working...she goes on the pads but she also goes everywhere else.

We would like to confine her in a smaller space when we can't be with her but I think she's too young for a crate yet.

From everything I've read on here an xpen is such a great idea!

I was wondering how big your xpens are (or whatever place they are confined in - when you can't be with them).

We were looking at confining her in a space of about 2x6. Is that too small? It is room enough for her crate (which we leave open), her "bed" (which is a little pink couch - sooo cute), food & water and her pee-pads. However there is not a lot of room for her to run around & play in. That is my only concern.

I would really appreciate any advice!
