we got the Large size Pet Gear Playpen which I do recommend getting that size, here are some pics and so far Bailey can not jump out of it I got it for just about 112.00 including shipping in an ebay store which was lower than petsmart or petco As you can see BAILEY LOVES IT....I kept the lil door open so he can go in and he did, I wanted him to get use to it so when I go to work he will be okay in it.

That's a nice pen!

Do you have a picture of it folded. I'm wondering how big it would be for airline travel...

It's great, it comes with 6 panels (we only use 4...we did add one, but then Uno went back to NOT peeing on his pad so we took it out) Anyway, This one is supertall, I loooove it. Uno likes to jump up against the sides, and there is no way he can get out. Has a door that opens and a handle that latches so it can't open.

Just wonder if you have a picture of your furbaby inside to share??

We use to use a playpen for Meka... Until one day, we came home to find her sitting right at the door waiting for us... She had climed out of her pen (one side was like a "mesh" material) and had been out running wild most of the day. Think she was only happy to see us that day, cause she was unable to get to her water bowl that was in the pen... So, some good thought should go into what model to buy.... From what I've read, xpens seem to be most popular.... Hope this helps 8)

This is what I use, it's awesome, Vinnie can't jump out, there are multiple ways you can shape it to fit in spaces, AND it easily comes apart at each joint, so if you want to take a panel or two out you can!!! We originally pee pad trained, after about a month in we put the pad in the pen instead of by the door, and i think it was just the right amount of privacy for him, he trained instantly! I don't have to feel bad about leaving for work, he goes in with food, water, toys, bed and a pad just in case, i don't want him holding it, and he just loves it, it's like his room! PLUS the panels can be used to make barricades if you want to keep them off furniture or out of rooms!

After the posts from yesterday, I decided to try the Summer play yard from Kmart. I found it today and am hoping this is the answer to MY prayers. Bella is not doing well in the bathroom while I am at work. She wears herself out crying and digging on the walls, the baby gate and the door. I come home every day to the biggest mess you could ever imagine. She steps in her poop and then smears it all over where she claws to get out. ARGHHHHH Please keep your fingers crossed that this will work. She will now be in the kitchen where the patio doors will allow her to look out. And NO walls and door to mess up. I figure I can always hose the playpen down if she tries to claw out of it. Here are some pictures for ya!

You can't attach the water dish to the side so he can't tip it over, or play in it, and there isn't much room left if you put a wee-wee pad down. It also looks like it could be quite warm. The expen is only $29.00 and gives more floor space.

I found an older baby playpen for sale on a list similar to freecycle. It is a 36 x 36 size. It worked great for 2 weeks.....Brody learned he could clear the side easily. I mean he does not even touch the side and over and out he is.....SO I am now thinking Xpen.....

Let us know how you guys are doing with your pens....

I had one of those x-pen's but it was quite bulky and it wasn't easy to take down or even travel with so thats the too main things I didn't like about the plastic ones

I would say its the same size as if you have one of them adult folding chairs with the casing its about the same size as that....I think.

How does FREECYCLE work?
I signed up for it, but each time I see something I want,
I look further down and it already has been given away.

I use this play yard .. $40.00 from either Target or Walmart

I looked for a play pen in 2nd hand stores- ended up getting one at Wal-mart-for about $50- he has not jumped out yet- and he is about 4 1/2 lbs- not tiny, but not huge!I am home most of the time though.It folds up, has a tote bage w/ it-and so far it has held up fine!
I think it is just what you like the most- and what works in your home!
