Oh, I do mean ONLY as a LAST RESORT. it would truely be a shame, but if the alternative is PTS, then Ally's mom at least has an option.

My MIL suggests a playpen (cage) but that is an ongoing thing to tend to and Ally would most likely be unhappy, and the problem (and the worry) would still exist.
