Hello and welcome to YT. I setup our new puppy in an xpen with her crate, food, water, toys and peepads in it. She came home at 12 weeks and I only work 4 hours a day, but she is quite happy in there. She comes out as soon as I get home and we play for quite some time. It is great that you are able to come home at lunchtime. I actually came home during my workday the first week to just check on her and all was fine. Listen to these folks on here...they have really great information.
