Default Roxy is a climber

The first week we had Roxy home, I lost track of the number of times she escaped.

We had a crate in her pen area so she would have a den. She got on top of the crate, then climbed out of her pen.

We took the crate apart. She just climbed out of the pen from a lower level.

We used extra panels to make a top using caribeaner clips for easy access. She nudged open the top where we didn't have the clips close enough together.

We clipped every 6 inches. She figured out out to un-latch the door to the pen.

We clipped the door to the pen. She was stuck in the pen!!!

Each time we came home to find her out it was really scary. How she managed NOT to get hurt falling from the top when she climbed out, or how she managed NOT to choke herself as she squeezed through the top panels is beyond me. Not only was getting Roxy an answer to prayer, God stuck close to keep her safe. Not to mention that she was locked out of her food and water area. I can deal with the accidents on the floor, but the "what ifs" weren't fun. I am just grateful that she progressed in her potty training quickly and now gets full run when we aren't home.

Good luck in keeping your little one safe!!!
