If I put her in my lap she snoozes blissfully. But I can't do that even when I'm home from work.
Oh, and the pads? She chews them up and swallows pieces.

LOL Um... yes I think they can. Good news is it gets better. Bad news is .. it gets worse! Wait for the chewing phase.
Seriously though.... she's having separation anxiety. When my boys were pups (I got them at 9 weeks old also) I crated them also. They slept a lot but during the time I was home, they were confined to the room I was in, and watched like a hawk to not pee in the house. At night, I would put them in their crate, with a nice warm blanket, a stuffed toy and I would hide a little ticking clock in their crate. Then I would cover their crate with a dark blanket that didn't let light in. It would be dark, warm and the ticking reminds them of their mother's heartbeat, it helps to relax them. This worked like a charm!
