I just posted the following post in another thread, but it pertains to your situation, so I'm just going to change the he to she and paste it here....
As long as she has her needs met w/water/food/pee pads, she should be fine...I've always worked, since I got Apple, and she's had to stay by herself for about 8 1/2 hrs. a day...I used to keep her in the kitchen (gated), but now she has the living room/dining room/kitchen and entry hall...The ONLY think is you have to really "baby proof" the room...For me, I have to throw the breaker switch on the plugs in the living room/dining room...I just swtiched them all off and on, 'till I found the right one, and voila, I switch it off in the morning, and switch it on in the evening...It's a "just in case" thing, as she doesn't chew electrical cords, but'cha never know w/these babies...Btw, I, totally, spend every possible waking hour w/her on my day off, and I walk her 30 minutes in the morning, before work, and 30 minutes in the evening, after work...Sometimes I don't feel like it, but it sure does help her w/her exercise, energy level, etc. etc. etc...Hope this helps... |
