| Setting Up I am putting together Reign's quarters today for the last time! I have set this stuff up, put it away, set it up and put away for the last time . I attached some pics to give you an idea of of his set up. He's only going to be in there when he's: - Knocked out - I am in class - For whatever reason I can't have him roaming free and need him to be safe. I think I am going to teach him how to stay put on my bed while I am cleaning up or vacuuming my room. Then I wont have to subject him to his quarters. What do you all think?

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | NIce pen, where did you get it? Why are you taking it down and putting it back up again? If you leave it up its always there when you need it. I think its always a great idea for you to have a safe place for your little one to hang out when you dont have your full attention on him. He can get into less trouble that way.

I was taking it down and putting it up every time I got something new to add to see what it looked like. LOL I'm keeping it up now because I am on my way to getting him tonight. I got the pen off of amazon it's called an Iris Pen. I got laminate from home depot months ago before I even had the pen. I just went by the pen measurements on amazon (Thank goodness they were accurate). The pad is from T. Bumpkins, the bowls and bed I ordered online. I also got a wall pad, just in case he decides to start marking.

| Very nice xpen. Just make sure he isn't a climber. Is the plastic sheet temporary? That could present a danger when your little one is in the pen. Staying on the bed while you are cleaning -- depending on his size and the height of your bed, he would probably be safer in the pen or in a crate. Some Yorkies have broken legs or sustained other injuries jumping or falling off beds. At the very least, jumping off beds are hard on the legs/joints and can contribute to luxating patella. That is why many Yorkie families have stairs to the bed and couch.

The 'plastic' your referring to (I think) is actually the pen cover pushed back. I attached more pics so you can see it better. I got these super duper clips (similar to laundry line clips) to keep the cover taut. My bed is literally on the floor (the things we do for these guys). I'm holding off on a new bedroom set until he gets a bit older and I won't have to worry as much. What do you think?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That's really nice, add a few toys and he's all set. I will tell you that for some reason Joey dumped his water every day, he'd step in it or do something that his bowl was empty most of the time. So use the small bowl for water!

| I have toys in a separate area. Should I put them in there? I got a no tip bowl just for the reason you described. I don't think he can tip it but... I will have to wait and see!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh, that's a good idea, Joey definitely could have used a no tip bowl and also a no step in bowl! I would put some toys in the pen with him, at least 4 or 5; he will totally ignore some toys and love others. They definitely will have favorite toys. Is the leopard pad a pee pad? So cute!

| I agree, he will need some toys in his rec room. We have toys inside Princess Sophie's play pen and outside as well. It really helps.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Nice set up. I have the same pen and it is so handy. I also have the same sheet vinyl from Home Depot but it covers my walk in closet and the half of my bedroom they have access to. It's been a life saver for my new carpet. I think Reign will love his new home.
