we leave for work at about 8 in the morning, make sure millie has her bed, pee pad, toys, water, biscuits and food and maybe a chewie (which she just buries anywhere!) we leave her free in the living room on her own as our other two dogs are two big to be left with her incase they snap at her as they are all protective of food/beds/toys.
my dad comes home from work about 2 o clock in the afternoon and is with her all day then and she loves it, she jumps up on the the arm of the sofa and shows her belly to us and sqeaks until we kiss her belly, she gives us fantastic little welcome homes.
shes fine with being left alone as long as shes got her bed and toys to keep her occupied, shes only had a few lil accidents on the carpet but nothing more, shes never chewed anything or ruined anything.
i used to leave her with my nan when she was a puppy whilst i was at work as she was so young, but for short periods of time (an hour or two) when i popped out i would leave her in her crate but started leaving her alone in the living room when she was nearly 10 months old
good luck!!
