9 wks is so very young to be weaned from her Mom. I know you, "her Mommie now" wants the very best for her. At this young stage, just be careful with the toys she has to play with. Nothing that she can rip off, like plastic eyes on stuffed animals, etc. Soft snuggly blankets, of course will be great to comfort her. Will she be puppy pad trained while you're gone? It's important to keep her confined in a small space during the puppy stage for her safety. They definitely go through the chewing phase, but it doesn't last forever, thank goodness. I wish you the very best. Have Fun with Aislee!!
