| He came out of the xpen Sometimes I wonder if he is a dog or a cat. I put a big tarp over the xpen with clothes pins so he cannot climb out. Yesterday I came home and he is outside. This is the 2nd time he has done that. He was in the basement and he ate my daughter's pen and eraser. I was so worried and thought of calling my vet. He behaved normal and he did poo out the eraser (white stuff, I figured out it must be the eraser). This morning, he has a little bit of loose stool. I hope his body system will excrete all the junks he ate. These yorkies are full of energy and full of mischief, yet he is a bundle of joy to us. This morning before I left for work, I left some treats in the water bottle. I cut some holes on the water bottle and he is trying very hard to open the bottle to get his treats. Hope this will keep him busy for a while. |

| crate Brandy will climb out of the xpen if she sees me in the room and she barks if bailey isn't in there with her. Poor Bailey doesn't need to be in it because he's potty trained, but I just put him in there with her to babysit her-lol You might want to try useing a crate or a bigger xpen. take care cher |

| The tarp is a good idea. I dont know why but mine still dont try to climb out of the xpen. I dont put them in it so much anymore either though.

| My little ones play in the xpen during the day (I am home all day)... at night the 3 little ones sleep together in a 24 X 36 inch crate... pee pad in back of it... because my Jasmine jumps too high .... they are more protected that way at night and I don't have to worry about my husband stepping on them.... ... they are all under 3 pounds.... 2 of them under 2 pounds...

| You might try getting a piece of tileboard from Lowe's or HomeDepot. Its usually on one of the back walls. Its the stuff like you can put on bathroom walls (the white tileboard). It is only about $10 a sheet and is lightweight enough for one person to handle it but heavy enough for your pup not to be able to move it. My ex-pen is 36" high and haven't had problems with it YET. You could always get another piece of tileboard to put on the bottom of the x-pen so that you don't have to worry about ruining your carpet or floor. A shower curtain works well on the floor beneath it too. Lisa
