we have personally crated our little girl. She is crated about 6 hours a day while we are at work. The rest of the day and at night, she has the run of the house. We choose to do this because when we are not home, she can't tell anyone that she has to go out. She is like our child and like any young child I do not trust her home alone. I feel like she is safer in a crate.
