Hello and welcome to YT! My name is Pam and my dogs are 11 month old Fagan our Yorkie and our 8 year old Corgi Pepper. We both work and kids are at school so we put our x-pen (it's a portable pen ) up in the kitchen so that he only has a small area in the kitchen and not free roam of the whole room. It's a large enough area that I can put his crate or his bed, toys, food water and a couple of pee pads down. That has worked very well for us and keeps Fagan safe and out of mischief when we are away for long periods of time. Hope this helps. By the way...where in Mass. are you from? I'm originally from Haverhill, on the North Shore. Can't wait to see pics of your babies!!!
