Don't worry... I wouldn't leave her alone until she stops trying to munch on the carpet or walls

. I just hate putting her in her crate when we leave. She loves her crate, but I just hate that she's confined to that small thing. I'd feel better if she was able to free roam and play with her toys/sleep on the bed as she pleases. I have tons of baby gates that hook together, so I could leave her there to start. But, that wouldn't really help me because of the carpet munching.
