No offense to kids BUT there really isn't any kids on my block that I can trust to come into my house when I'm not home....
I agree that its way to long to leave her in the crate but I once had a x pen for her and what she would do is tear up all her pee pads. Believe me she has WAY to many toys she has rubber toys and stuffed animals. Bully sticks I keep reading about that I need to get her some to see... She has this thing that is rubber with a treat inside of it she plays with that for hours but she does get really bored...
I guess what I really need is for her not to eat and or play with her poop..I want to leave her in the gated kitchen but I'm closing the door to my bedroom.. Today I found a spot on the bed because she is apparently taking the poop on bed to eat
