I've been trying to think of the best place for little Corona's pen, where we'll keep her crate and where she'll be during the day. Obviously somewhere on the carpet is out of the question, lol, and our kitchen area is just too small to be able to fit anything in there... so, we've got a small piece of linoleum inside the front door that I think might work, but it's only about 3'x3'... is that going to be big enough? She'll only be in there when nobody is home (a max of 9 hours on occasion, with a little break at lunch time), the rest of the time I plan to keep her tied to me around the house.

The only other option would be to put her in the basement as it's got just cement floors through most of it, so we could make a big pen down there, but then there is no daylight and it's cool....
