I put a pee pee pad in there, and the first thing she did with it was start to chew it up. OMG, that was most of the idea for making this thing.

But at least she's now not confined to her crate when we're not in and out of the house, and at night when I got to sleep.

I used 2 rolls of 24" high, 10 foot long, galvanized "hardware cloth" found in hardware stores by the fences (8.95 roll). I used 1 small box of "double point" tacks (they are like a u shaped nail, 99 Cents a box), and some cutters to cut the wire, which I already had here. And 4-24inch tall 2x4's (untreated lumber) which I already had here. Just a bucket of sweat, and one cut on me, lol.

No, not as pretty as a 50 buck x-pen, but looks so far to be effective, and cheap! And the good thing, I think she really likes it, cause she's no longer whining to get out of her crate all the time!

Now to get her to quit chewing on the peepee pads!

When are you coming to NY? Great bob! I also need my yard fenced in!
