of their x-pen?? I have one that has 8 sides, each panel is 24"L x 24"H. the pen is attached to her crate, so it is large and I put pee pads and food and water at one end and her bedding in her crate, its right next to my office, so when I'm working in there I put her in it and I can still keep an eye on her. When I've had to go to the grocery store, I have been putting her in her crate that is in our bedroom next to my bed, I wait till she goes to sleep and then sneak out and leave. When I come in the house she is whining and crying..obviously woke up at some point and saw that I wasn't there. Up till now there have been no accidents in her crate until yesterday, when I went to the store and came home, went in to bedroom and saw that she had pooped everywhere in her crate, on her doggie bed, on everything, she had it on her feet, ugh, I didn't even get the groceries put away, I put her in her
x-pen while I grabbed everything from the bedroom crate, flushed the poop, and started the washing machine, while I did that, I went to get her to start cleaning her up and she had pooped everywhere in her x-pen while I was cleaning up the poop in the bedroom!!!! I was about to have a meltdown...cleaned up the x-pen while she was still in it, took all bedding out of her crate from x-pen to washing....went to bathroom and immediately gave her a bath...groceries still sitting on counter in bags...this whole debacle took over an hour, but finally when the wash was going, the x-pen was cleaned up and she was getting dry..I finally went to put the groceries away...had purchased a $5.00 scratchoff while I was at the grocery store, started scratching....trying to settle down some, lo and behold I won $500.00!!!...couldn't believe it after all this...anyway...don't know if she just got all worked up while I was gone, but this is the first time she had done this when I had left her in her crate..I'm wondering if I should leave her in the x-pen that she has access to peepads and her crate if she wants to...I'm worried that she will climb over the wire x-pen...so I'm going to try and find a top that I can put over the x-pen, maybe that would work..she obviously doesn't have free roam of the house, sorry about the long post...think I'm just venting and still getting over yesterday...but smiling cause now I have enough money to pay for her spaying that will get down sometime this month I think...
