We put Romeo in a porable childs playpen. He has plenty of room, all his toys and blankies. When we go out we put a small pee-pad in it and he has a gravity water bottle, like a hamster bottle,. But now we havr to put a gate on top, because he can climb out. Fits perfact. We have one end tied on and a clamp on the other so we can get him out easy. Works great. It's mesh so he can see what's going on.

The xpen is huge when it's opened up...

Thanks everyone I do feel better now, your right I would feel a lot worse if she got into something and got hurt b/c i let her roam free at least this way I knwo she is in a safe place and not in trouble

The reason i was so concerned a friend of mine made a comment to me about her being in there during the day.

she was like why did you get a dog if you know you have to work and she is going to be in a cage all day and i was like i know i cant be the only yorkie mommie who works! So I just wanted to make sure I wasnt the only one who puts her baby in a crate....... she is in there about 7 hrs

X pen is large enough for them to run arround abit. i love mine for outside at the park or in my back yard. You could still put the crate in there, open, with a cozy blanket to curl up in put a ptty pad down on the opposite side and i like to leave food and watter out all the time. Your baby can't get out but will have all the things it needs for a day alone. If I have to leave Copper alone I set it all up in my bedroom for him. I would highly recomend one.

Just don't leav your yorkie in one with his collar on. One girl here lost her yorkie while she was gone because his collar got caught in the xpen and he choked to death. He was hanging there and that is how she found him when she came back. It was so sad!

OMG! how awful,

thanks for the tip, I never leave her collar on anyway, just when she goes for a walk or we go somewhere and she needs a leash...

Same here but she would drive my cats crazy

The kitchen works great.
