Ladybug is crated while we're at work each day. But once we're home she's out and about through the house until the next morning. I leave her home when I run a 30 minute errand and she does just fine. So, today was the first day that we've decided to give her a little freedom. We left her out of the crate with access to the kitchen and family room only. I can't wait to get home today to see how she did.
