Cerise, thank you for the tips. That is what I was thinking for at work. I have a thick wooden table behind my desk that I want to put a baby gate up to so that he can see me whenever he wants to and behind the gate I will put a crate with comfort stuff in it and was thinking about keeping it open so he could come out to potty (putting his food and water outside the crate). The space is about 6 feet long, 18 inches deep and 26 inches tall.
At home...I have to give that a little more thought but I do want an X pen of some sort for the living room area between the tv and my computer where I sit A LOT...(omg!! just realized I am going to have to buy 2 of everything!!)
I'm attaching a new picture!!!!
