If I am gone for more than 3 hours, my pup is in the pen. i put her cage at one end and papers at the other. during the day she likes to be outside of the cage (the cage door is always open) so i also have a cozy blanket outside of the cage too. the whole pen is set up about four feet long by 3 feet wide. I put a heavy plastic table cloth under the whole pen (one with flannel on the underside.) Just make sure there is water and food down. She should do fine especially if you are coming home mid-day for an hour.
Good Luck! and enjoy your new baby!!! |
