Thank you all for the great advice. I should mention that the pen has been set up for the past two years. (For potty training Triss) Our wiener dog fell in love with the pen and has slept in there for the past 2 years on his cushy bed with his fleece blanket, lol. (With the door off after potty training) So I never put it away.

I had to start locking it when the baby came. I do feel bad and wish I could have spent more time with the dogs. Triss used to sleep in my bed. I breastfed the baby and co-slept with him most of the time. (He hardly slept, had reflux and colic. I had supply issues.) So most of my energy and time went for the baby. And any free time I had, I slept. She never seemed sad. I walked her once a day and one of us in the house played with her at least once. She always ignored the baby. But now he is mobile and interested in her. This was a total surprise today. I will definitely work on it. In fact, this evening, I set the baby in my lap and had him feed her treats. I think they both enjoyed it.

(Our wiener dog loves the baby. Seth gives him 'hugs'. Its so cute.)
