I always suggest Ex pens. I'm not a crate or cage fan. That way she could have her bed, blanket, toys, chew toys, water, food and pee pad if needed.
Alot of my new mommys set them up right in their rooms and have found it to work great!
She might be harder to switch tho since she's used to snuggling with you
I wouldnt blame her tho...I'd prefer the bed too!
