We use an xpen for Bella Rose too. She couldn't handle being in the small enclosed crate. She went crazy in it, and peed and pooped all over in it. She was miserable! With the xpen (exercise pen) we put her little doggie bed in there, some toys, and a pee pad. She does much, much better in the xpen. We keep the xpen on the tile floor so she can't damage anything.
