I totally agree with Cheska's Bella I have done the same thing with the crate on the nightstand. I also have a 3 year old bischon and I don't remember this being anything close to when when she was a puppy. hope my yorkie outgrows this soon. I am hope alot of the day so I am going to try the exercise pen and see if this will work I tried the baby gate - she jumps over it I tried the bathroom she chews the drywall and molding. I am running out of ideas. Of course now that I am up she is asleep. If only she would stay that way till about 6:00 am I would be fine.
