Oh mine are not in a playpen like you have. Mine are in a 24 metal exercise pen and they don't live in it. They just did that when they were small to keep them safe. Sorry for not making myself clearer. Mare -------Original Message------- From: Norma Jean Date: 06/16/07 18:56:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] I purchased a puppy play pen.... We use the play pens ONLY for sleeping, otherwise they are not put in it, we put the 2 girls in one and the 2 boys in the other one, they are side by side and we got them at WalMart for around $40 each, our bed was simply not big enough for 4 Chis and myself and husband, it was okay when it was just me but when I added another person to the bed it was just to small, so the play pens make great beds for them. I don't know about them living in a play pen tho, mine have the run of the house, actually they permit me and my husband to stay here with them....normajean

I have heard so much about how cr ate training is essential in helping to potty train your puppies, and to give more supervision. The thing is I just can't put my lil babies into that little box! So in my mind, lol, I compromised with purchasing a puppy play pen. Now I know, its not a crate, but it makes ME feel better! So heres my questions.... Has anyone else in the group used a palypen instead of a crate? Will this give me the same effect as the crate? Can I use this play pen for both my pups? Can I still have them eat in the kitchen instead of the pen? I know I probably sound like the most in-experienced chihuahua / dog in general person, but I truely am! These Chi's are my first dogs ever! Any advice will be welcomed and appreciated! Thanks guys! Sincerely, Tara, Nino & Bella
