[RowdysMom]

I wonder if she's scared of the dark??? Can you leave a light on for her in the living room? Something is distressing her at night - if she is OK in the pen during the day - because I'm assuming she can't see you every minute of the time that she's in the pen during day, can she? If not, then maybe it has something to do with the dark. Maybe you could try leaving the TV on in the living room? I don't know, I'm so grateful that Rowdy was so easy - but I know it is not easy for some little ones to get adjusted - it does sound like she is distressed though.

Also, have you thought about trying a crate? Dogs are den animals and if she is scared in the open pen at night, maybe she would do better in a crate at night - it would be smaller and more confined, it might feel safer.
