Thank you all for your suggestions. I will definitely have her crate available inside a pen in the kitchen and she can come and go in the crate as she pleases. I'll put some pee pads out for her to use and twice a day someone is coming to play, walk her, etc. Don't think for a minute that she will not be well-loved and well-cared for. I know many of you are probably stay-at-home moms and possibly breeders, so it might be hard for you to understand leaving her all day. Believe me, it's going to be very hard for me too. I know there are many owners out there that crate their puppies and they turn out just fine. Once she is older she'll be able to have more space. Also, because she is a small dog I'll probably bring her to work with me a couple times a week. Thanks again and I continue to welcome any other suggestions. |
