Try leaving her for short periods of time, then gradually increase the amount of time you leave her to get her used to being alone again. Dogs really don't have much conception of time and she will probably just sleep the whole time you are gone.

The big thing to remember is not to let her sense that you are upset or anxious about leaving her. If you pen her when you are gone, you can give her a special treat like a Kong to distract her and make it a positive experience.

I'm sure she'll do just fine. You'll probably be the one the one with separation anxiety!
