Had a BIG surprise waiting this evening! OMG, we left the house to do grocery shopping for about an hour or so. When we came back, Mojo greeted us at the door! He has a playpen that he has apparently just this evening learned to jump out of!!! Now how do I keep him safe??? I can't crate him; he wouldn't tolerate it. Can someone recommend a nice playpen with a cover that zips shut? I have to leave the house for about 4 hours on Tuesday and Mojo isn't ever really left alone. Am I going to have to shut him in a bathroom? |
Lol what a hoodini! Id puppy proof bathroom and leave plenty of toys, and a radio playing softly. |
That's funny. He outfoxed his playpen huh. Try this: Doggie Dorm Portable Pet Pen at HSN.com The top zips all the way around |
If you leave him in the bathroom, make sure the toilet seat is down since he is a jumper. |
(also Precision) Best Pet Play Yard look on amazon and eBay for the best price I love it's portability and ell okay all the color and pattern options...I have a medium. Amazon.com: best pet play yard soft medium |
LOL...he is like his mommy. I have to use gates with bars. She can't get her feet into anything to help her hop over. |
Do you have any new pics of him :D |

OK, the Doggie Dorms look awesome, but the price of the Best Pet play yards on Amazon just can't be beat! I believe I'll be placing an order shortly, as soon as I can decide on a color. You would not believe the heart attack I had when I came home and found him out. All I kept thinking was, what if he ate something? Could he have broken a leg jumping out of the pen? Thanks so much for the suggestions! I'll post new pics of my little jumping bean just as soon as my new camera cord arrives! |
My two figured out how to get out of their pen last week. Think I will be investing in a pen with a cover. :) Sounds like you should too! :D |
I've put a fitted sheet over the gate before. Just a temporary idea? |

I have one of these, not the exact model, that we use when we travel. Shadow is fully enclosed still with lots of room. Good Luck. |

We keep our babies in a corralle. It's almost 3 foot tall and the bars are vertical so they can't climb on them. So far so good. |

Wasn't that just a sweet surprise when you come home to that. I was in shock when I come home to find Josie coming out of a different room then what I left her in. LOL We called her the escape artist. |

I like this!! I hope to travel with the guys this summer so this may be a must! Thanks! |
I should have asked for recommendations when I got Adie. Even at 8 weeks the little fire cracker was able to get out of any uncovered enclosure. She is a climber. She even climbed up the back of the couch one night. (I could tell you soooooo many stories..) Good luck with your little one, I had to resort to keeping Adie in a crate while we were away from home. Luckily we never had to be away very long as dh was home during the day. |

they may chew thru it |
Until I discovered all the cool dog things out there (x-pens & such)...ours (one at a time as puppies/brought home) spent their days (when I worked) in the puppy-proof bathroom. We didn't shut the door, rather used a locking baby gate so they could see out and not feel "shut-in". Radio is okay, just place it outside the bathroom as if there's anyway they can get the cord, they will. OH, and be sure and close the toilet seat. |
I bought the little pink playpen for Kayla when we got her from (I think) Foster&Smith. Anyway, I remember reading it said not to leave the alone in it unsupervised. So, it really didn't help much because I felt safer for her to be in her crate when she was little rather this mesh thing they said not to leave her alone in. So, it now hangs in the garage. lol!!!! I think the crate or the bathroom idea like someone suggested with the gate would be your best bet. Good luck. These little buggers can get into everything. Like they said too, don't forget to put the toilet seat down. Good advice, they gave. |
Hercules can climb the mesh of his play pen and jump out too. He has a pack n play, so I went to Babies R Us and bought a mosquito net that fits over the top of the pack n play and it works really well. |

:yeahthat: and make sure the cabinets are baby-proof-locked. My baby-boy just learned how to open them, I dunno how yet :eek: HB says he didn't do it, Nini was sleeping and I make sure I close them...hmmmm :confuse2: |
Mine never chewed through it...but I did add a blanket as Princess figured out when it wasn't anchored down she could dig at the Velcro and slide out under it...after 6 months of using it though...blanket detoured her after. |
