Apple stays in a 4' x 12' kitchen w/puddle pads at one end, food in the middle, and her bed and toys at the other end for 8 1/2 hrs., 5 days a week...Fortunately, I only work about 10 minutes from home...But let me tell you, it breaks my heart (and probably hers too) everytime I leave...Maybe she does better than me, but I wish I didn't have to leave her...I set my clock @ 5:30, instead of 7:30, so she has 3 1/2 hours to play and be awake, before I go to work...Then, when I get home, she plays for another 3 1/2 hrs. before bed...On my days off, it's just apple and me, all day long! You won't believe how much you will love these little angels...All the Best to You and your New Baby!
