I wrote yesterday about my 13 week old Yorkie climbed out of his x pen. Well, so much for that.
Today I had to be gone 1 1/2 hours. I put him in the master bathroom with toys, treats, etc. and put a large baby gate at the door, ( didn't want to close the door for him to scratch)
I taped cardboard over the fence holes about 18 inches down. He could still see through the bottom.
Set my video recorder and left. I was so nervous the time I was gone.
Got back and Wow! He was still in the bathroom!
My recorder showed him trying with all his power to get out. His arms could reach the cardboard, but couldn't get enough traction.
Have to do the same tomorrow, wish me luck
I just want to keep him safe.
Thanks to all of you who replied yesterday. Great advice. Thank you Magus for sending the link for another kind of x pen. I ordered it yesterday.
