Hi everyone! Once again I turn to this super-helpful forum for suggestions.
This summer I will be moving into my very first house. This is the first time I will have a choice in terms of where to put my chins...up until now I just separated half of my living room as the chin-exclusive resort.
My first question is in regards to where to keep them. I am leaning towards still setting them up in my living room, as this is the set up they are used to and they quite seem to like to watch TV (or watch me reacting to the TV) as I unwind after work. I also feel like I interact with them a lot more if they are in a central part of the house.
The other choice is to chin-proof part of the guest room that I was going to use as a home-office. However, I try not to take too much work home so would not be in that room as often unless I make the point of going there and they would get far less interaction.
Thoughts?
My second question has to do with the set up. For my current set up, I took a tarp and laid it over the area, and covered it in fleece. I took two Marshall's animal play pens and set that around my Critter nation as a permanent play area. Chins have free roam of their area whenever I'm in the same room to keep an eye out for them. Whenever I have to clean, I just change out the fleece and then clean whatever has gotten down to the tarp. I'd like to keep a similar set up (my chins have really like this one compared to being taken to a play area) but would appreciate suggestions in:
1. Waterproof material - The tarp I am using was more of an afterthought as I was trying prevent my girl from marking the area in my apartment...as well as not give her access to carpet (she started pulling the strings apart)
2. The playpen - There isn't anything wrong with the Marshall pen, but since there isn't a door, I basically have to go over a fence that goes as high as my waist. For about a month when I was dealing with a leg injury that got quite tricky to deal with, so I wanted to see if anybody had better ideas.
Thank you!
