I have an Iris pen set up in our den. It is a safe haven for my tinies. It is just myself and my husband so the days are generally quiet. If my grand kids come (8 months, 2 and 3), or as it is this week, I have my daughter's 35-pound dog staying here, our dogs go into their pen where they have their beds. The door is open so they can come and go as they please, but they will stay there until they feel safe. I use it when we have workers in the house as well, to keep them safe. It is so easy to travel with since the 4-sides come apart. If you drive to family you could just put it in the trunk. If you fly, I would invest in one just to have at your family's house. It is easy to store and will make your visit so much more peaceful. She sounded more frightened than aggressive, poor baby. |
