Thank you everyone for your ideas. Today I took the plunge, I set up my already existing webcam, put the puppy pads and lots of toys. I download a whistle which I can remotely activate and I plan to play music mid-day. So far I have witness the pup drive my older dog crazy by wanting to lay close together, they have been sleep all day AND she was a good girl and went potty on her pad… its is noon so far so good
