What ex-pen or playpen do you reccomend?

[My lil friend]

I have an 8 sided TALL expen,but my last dog (5lbs) was a climber and it scared me to come home and find him running free in the house (that ment he scaled the fence and JUMPED),I will be getting a wire crate with enough room for the items that you mentioned,if my new baby is a climber.

The 44x24 is small, but it has enough room for a bed/food/water and a potty pad but not much room for anything else...it was just right for my Harley when I first got him at 12 weeks...I have a 2 story home so I quickly got tired of carrying it up and down every day...so I order the 57x36 for down stairs and that one is HUGE...enough room for everything and play space, but like I said its huge. I have a big house...if you have a smller home I would think the 44x24...maybe a little bigger would be good...they come in all sizes...you just have to mearsure before ordering to make sure it will fit in your space, thats what hubby and I did...hope this helps...Good luck in your search.

Thanks, that does help I measured a piddle pad an it's 22" and the one found is 42"x21" which is about 10" wider than the first one on my list but the same hight, so I think that'll be good since she's so small she only needs a tiny bed. I wish the bigger ones weren't so high. I may even cut the piddle pads in half for when she's in there so it doesn't take up so much space?

LOL...That is funny you said that...while we did measure the 44x24...I just jumped right online and ordered the 57x36 and didn't even look at the height measurements of it...I just wanted it bigger around than the 44' that I had.. the 24' height on the small one was just right for my yorkies..needless to say I was shocked when it arrived and kinda disappointed at the height of it...I guess I was thinking, they all come 24' high LOL..but Owell I still love them.

LOL Ya, I want her to have enough room but at the same time I don't want this huge funny looking thing in my living room. And why do they have to make them in such bright colors? A nice "tan" would be great but I can't find one
