Thanks to you both for your advice. I totally agree that she needs to learn that she will be ok without us and that we will always return to her.
Question - how do I confine her? I have a play pen in our upstairs family room that I first used when we got her so that I could confine her until she got used to things. I also used this as a place for her to sleep at night, but have since changed to her wire kennel that is now placed next to our bed. This has worked out GREAT!!!
So, should I use the play pen so as not to confuse her? She will potty in the play pen because of its roominess. When her kennel was placed in the kitchen, she was terrified and would just shake like crazy.
Thanks,
