Hi,

We have a 5-month old shorkie (Lulu) that we need to confine while we're at work, and have decided to purchase and x-pen. Problem is Lulu is part bunny: she can jump HIGH.

We have her in the kitchen now, and we had to double gate (gate on top of another gate) as she learned to hop over the first gate.

Any suggestions? We're eager to purchase an x-pen as soon as possible for potty training issues. I see one on-line with the dimensions of 29 inches high x 18 inches wide...one the one hand, it looks like she couldn't jump it (it doesn't have the little holes that she can use as foot holds to gain traction and hop)....but the one I'm looking at doesn't come with a top. So no top to cover it makes me nervous that she might somehow hop out while we're away.

Any suggestions? Help!
