Oh boy did I have a sad girl yesterday pen day 1 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LILBIT1 · 11-01-2012, 09:42 AM

I thought I was doing her a favor leaving her in her play pen while I showered instead of putting her in her crate. WELL the video I took of the event says differently!
She very quietly cried for me. Its so sad

she didnt get loud but a couple occasions she let out one full bark. Other than that whimpering and squeaking. Sooo, Now I dont know if I should use the pen idea or if she is happier in her crate while Im not able to watch her. Im still using crate at night no matter if I use play pen during day or not.

Waffles crys for me when I put her in her play...

She will get used to her pen in time. Anytime she is confined away from you shes going to cry untill she gets used to it

Probably not a very good advice but I leave Pao in the bathroom with a toy while I shower

Oh my word, how cute! She makes the cutest noises like Joel does

Joel definetly likes his crate more than bieng out in the room when i'm away. When he's in the crate he'll just sleep and when he's out he waits and watches for me, but Waffles will get used to it

Bless her heart.....so sad. But she will GE used to it. Maybe connect the crate to the pen. If she wants the lay down she might feel safer in the crate

She did good! I let mine in the bathroom too though, lol. I think it's harder for them when they know you're in the house and they are penned. They don't understand why they can't be with you. How is she when you have to go out for a spell?

She is so cute!! She looks and acts like my baby, Max.

She is adorable, I love the sounds yorkies makes

jeane · 11-01-2012, 12:46 PM

She is so precious

LILBIT1 · 11-01-2012, 01:09 PM

Thank you everyone

she is a cutie for sure. Im afraid to attach her crate to the pen id think shed just step right up on it and be free walking the house unattended. I maybe wrong tho. When i go to the store i put her in her crate and she takes a nice nap. I also put her in there when i shower but i thought the pen would be better. Lol guess she prefers her crate. Im going to keep trying though.

CouversMom · 11-01-2012, 01:09 PM

Aww, she'll get used to it.

Jilleen · 11-01-2012, 01:56 PM

I am very surprised she didn't climb out!!! She is so cute!!

You could try putting aside, some favourite toys, and keeping them only for pen time. Also let leave some treats to be found, in the bed, under the bed, for the first few times she's left there. Also something like a kong, that she has to work at, to get the treat out. This way she'll associate the pen with fun.
She is adorable.
