[House]

I've been lurking on this board for a couple weeks now and this is my first post because your situation is similar to mine. I got my little girl 3 weeks ago from a previous owner who had her for a week and decided he didn't want her.

I work a ways away from my home and due to time and gas, I do not come home during lunch. I keep her in my bathroom during the day with a baby gate and I leave animal planet on the tv. She has pee pads which she is pretty good about using, but I still clean the floor every night just in case some of it dried up. She doesn't chew on the cabinets under the sink.

I leave her all her toys and a full bowl of water. She has her crate which she sleeps in during the day (I've found toys pulled into it). Although I eventually want to limit her feeding to twice a day, right now I always leave her plenty of food for the day since she is so young.

One thing I have noticed (and I don't know if its her personality or because she's alone during the day) is that when I come home at night, if I have work to do and can't play with her the whole time, she is content entertaining herself with her toys so long as she can play at my feet.
