aaaww thanks! yeah..I think a pen of some sort is the way to go..she's only a little thing (3lbs) I do take her crate with us which i use when we have to go out somewhere and at night to sleep in..so she's totally used to that. They have a Collie that won't stray out of an open door and our Staffy is very good and wouldn't wander off either..so i think they are just not used to having a very small dog around that can nip past your heels and be gone before you know it!
