This is a web-site for a nifty little pet playpen that I just recently bought and love. It is light enough to move around. Maybe you could purchase something like this and move it around in your main living area. That way Izzy can be around the family.
By the way, I am blonde, too, and pay for it most days at my work place. Everyone finds great pleasure in telling blonde jokes. The bad thing is that jokes fall flat for me. Have no clue as to what the punch line is.

That only makes things worse.

Seems to me that at my age I should be getting more respect.
