I personally think 9 hours is too long in a crate. Is there anyway you can come home in the middle of the 9 and let her out for a bit? They really shouldn't be left in a crate for more then 4 hours without getting a little break to go outside. I have to leave during the day too so if I know I am going to be gone for more than 4 I just leave my baby in a confined area (I use my large tile bathroom) and just leave her toys and water and pee pad in there. |
