Oh how worried these little furbabies can get us! I'm a Momma to Jaxson who is 12 weeks old & 3lbs & he stays in his crate with my husbands shoe...yes his shoe he loves that smelly old thing & a couple of his toys. I think if you are worried about the blanket you can take it out just stick something she loves of yours in there that smells like you or something that can soothe her. Jaxson was actually sleeping when we got back! I felt so bad leaving him but my husband just got back from being deployed so we wanted to go to lunch and we decided to take an hour and do it! He was perfectly fine just make sure she eats and goes to the bathroom before you leave. Good luck & have fun!!
