What about your bathroom instead of the kitchen? You go to the bathroom there why can't your baby, too? You could also get a play pen for your little one. I found that human baby play pens are cheaper than doggy play pens. They work great as long as you are home to monitor incase the puppy starts to chew it. Hope this helps. Don't put the puppy on the porch. When I was younger my parents had their porch screened in so that they could put the dogs outside when they were not going to be home for a while +6-8hrs. They were then able to heat the porch in the winter and air condition it in the summer, but unfortunately I don't think this is an option for you. Sorry. Good luck with your pup. |
