Welcome to YT! Zoe is a cutie & I love her name. Congrats on being a new mommy. She is going to bring such much love & fun into yr life. I promise it gets better. The puppy stages can be a bit rough. Since you are gone for so many hours, disposable or washable puppy pads would work out great. Praise, Praise, & more Praise is the key when you are home & train her. Remember, she is still just a baby & she is needing lots of attention. Keep safe toys for her in the crate & having something of yours, like a soft tshirt might ease her separation anxiety. Pls let us know how it's going. Good Luck & hope Zoe catches on.
