Where is your baby/babies x-pen in your house/apt??? I bring my Marley home tomorrow!!!! Yaaaayyyyyy!! lol. Okay, so I have everything he will need (and much more-that stuff was so darn cute. I was in PetSmart for hours!). I have a 8 panel 24" exercise pen for him, got it home, it was much bigger than I expected. He is only 1 pound right now. I may try to remove 2 panels for now. Marley will be home for a few hours alone on days I don't take him to work with me. I am indicisive about where in my apt I want to set up his pen. I live in a duplex, I am on the 2nd floor. My Options Sunroom (carpet)= PROS:All windows, fresh air, he can hear the nature around him. Off from the apartment so no one would complain about him. CONS: Not as safe, only a screen door separating him from the bad guy! Also, its super hot in the summer, so I will have to move him in a few weeks anyway. Great for the fall. My Bedroom (hardwood floors)= PROS:He would be safe in the house. I won't have to worry about moving him in a few weeks when it gets hot, my room is naturally cool in the summer. He can also watch tv. CONS: Not sure about pee on wood, thats about it,lol. Kitchen (Tile) PROS:He would be safe in the house. Easy clean up. CONS: Depending on how he is, this may pose an issue, as my neighbor right under my apt bedroom is under my kitchen. This man is off during the day, works at night. But who knows, Marley may be cool calm and collect:) Also, do I want his xpen where I cook? This is a tougher decision than I thought, it's the last thing I need to figure out before tomorrow. HELP! Where do you keep your baby/babies? |
I put one in our living area and one in the bedroom |
Congratulations!! From the rooms you've described, I would put Marley's x pen in your bedroom. Maybe you could buy a plastic tablecloth (the kind with a flannel backing) and put that on the floor first and then put wee wee pads on top of that. I don't know if that would work, but just a suggestion. Have fun with your new pup!! |
I vote for the bedroom also. The tablecloth sounds like a good idea, I've done that before--only problem with that is, if he goes on the tablecloth it will puddle on top and he might walk in it. I guess you could put it with the flannel side up. At least it would be washable. Enjoy you're new baby! |
Sounds like the bedroom is the best- You can put something down to protect the pee accidents- or you can put more pads down..? I wouldn't give him "too" much room right now anyways |
in my bedroom.I like to keep them close at night.. hugs, |
I vote for the bedroom...get washable pee pads with vinyl backings all problems solved :) congrats on your new baby |
Thank you all! The bedroom does seem to be the best at this point. Hope those panels detach easily because those 8 panels are huge for my little guy. I will work on it tonight. I am so over-joyed and just ready to meet this little guy. So crazy how I love him already. |
When I brought Teegy home the expen was in the living room his carrier that he slept in was in the bedroom on a chair against my bed facing me. With Tufty no expen required he got full run of the house as soon as he got home because he was toilet trained and socialised and it would have been cruel to keep him and Teegy away from each other. I did stay home for his first two weeks I call it "pupternity leave" |
pee on wood, clean with vinegar. I have a spray bottle in my living room 90% vinegar 10% water and if there is a mess to be cleaned I give a could spray with vinegar after cleaning it up. |
I bought washable baby change pads from Wallymart instead of the standard ones and I just wash them very easily and reuse them in case you were interested in trying that as they have a rubber backing |
Thanks Teegy, great tips! |
Bedroom! |

The x-pen I have fits inside a kitty pool- I used it for my 2 litters primarily. I love human baby pens for mine. Easy to move, washable, & waterproof. |
