I have to tell you that I TOTALLY understand your hesitation to keep Mufasa in a pen all day. I suffered severe anxeity and guilt with the thought of keeping Bailey in a pen all day while at work - it was so bad that I almost gave her up! But I soon realized that she liked her pen - its her "safe" area - which is very important.

Each morning, we take a piece of dehydrated deer meat - she hops in the ex-pen without hesitation - and I leave for work. I know that she is safe and sound - and she knows that we will be home in the afternoon. Its our routine and she knows what to expect each day.
