I havent put a pad in her crate....is that something that I should do? I never thought of that. She doesnt seem to mind her crate....she just poops in it
As for her pen, it is very safe...she is in a very contained area in the kitchen with her doggie bed at one side and her pee pad at the other. I also had not thought of putting her crate inside the pen with the door open instead of her little bed. Both good suggestions. Thank you so much!!
