| Please tell me what I should do! I think there's something serioulsy wrong with me. I can't stand to leave my pup alone. My bf is home today taking care of Zoe (pup boy) but he's going out for a couple of hours (there's no estimate) could be until 7:00pm and I don't want him to leave ZOe in a cage. Should I let him roam free around my room which is not big or let him stay in his crate until I get out of work or until my bf gets home? |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | too young to have free roam. you should invest in an x-pen. It'll give him more room but keep him confined at the same time. Also, cover the top so that he can't jump out...for when he's older.

| I think my room is the size of an x pen - theres not much space but very comfortable. |

| When I first got my little girl Chloe I would cry when I had to leave her home by herself bc I felt so bad. She was used to being around her litter mates all the time and when I got her she was by herself. I kept her in my bedroom with the door shut if I had to leave her which was not very often. She was potty trained when I got her to the puppy pads so I didnt have to worry about a mess when I got home. I got a second yorkie about a month after I got Chloe bc I just couldnt stand her not having anyone to play with. So now when I do have to leave I dont feel so bad bc they keep each other company.

| awww...I would love to get another dog but I don't have the room or the budget for another one. For now, Zoe only has me and my bf who loves him to death. I hope thats enough. |

| Can you put a x-pen in a different room. I really would not let him roam around, you never know what they will get into. Being in a crate for a long time, isn't going to work, I would find space for a x-pen, this way Zoe will stay safe.

| Yes, I have just purchased a xpen however its only 15"high. I will see how it works. As soon as that arrives, I will leave him in that until he get old enough. As for now, I will leave him in my room. I boarded up everything he can squeez into and hid all the wires. Now I'm worried that he may be unsafe. I'll keep my findgers crossed!! |
