We keep Bailey in an exercise pen from 7:00 - 4:00 4 days a week. And, just like Sammybear's mom - we don't go out at night and we don't go out on the weekend (unless Bailey can come with us).

Yes, the guilt was horrible in the beginning. But I have found that the routine makes Bailey feel safe and she gets in her ex-pen gladly each morning (with a treat of course!). I have two beds, a floor pillow, two blankets and water available for her in the pen. She NEVER drinks any water??? But its always there for her.

Lots of play and we are all very happy.

Good luck!!
