We have hardwood floors, so we purchased a piece of vinyl larger than and expen so if potty escapes it wont hurt the floor, then put the expen, peepad, food and water dishes and we have a under-the-bed storage container, minus the lid, with full size towel folded up inside for the pups and mom to sleep in. Mom can get out easily and pups dont really get out of container until about 5- 6 weeks when they can crawl over the edge. Then that is about the right time for them to start eating dog food and drinking to get weaned. Mom likes to have a little time away on her own bed, but still in the expen and keep an eye on her pups. Works wonderful!!
