Thanks AIM for the info... I'm storing it as well
JackandJill... I would love to keep Chloe lose and give run of the house while I am out but I can't right now. First off she is only 8 months old, even though she is so perfect, never chews anything but her stuff, never potties anywhere but her wee wee pads, I've been warned of 2 things. One=she could still start to chew or be destructive until 18 months old. (even though I don't see it happening) and was also warned, she may get board and chew an electric cord or something. 2nd off, we travel back & forth to New York every other month. Staying at Gramma's I need to keep her in a cage. If I let her have run of the house here, during our trips I fret she will not be used to her playpen or crates, right?Too many things she can get into at Gramma's that could hurt or kill her (including mice poison granules to keep the field mice out of Gramma's house) I only work 2 hours, then home, later in the day another client-gone 2 hours then home BUT because of the 2 reasons written above, I hesitate to give her full run of the house now. Perhaps at 2 years old, I can. Gramma will be gone no doubt (she is 95 now) and Chloe would not be in toddlerhood any longer, so not in danger of doing bored puppy things, right? In the meantime, she doesn't yell or object but when I get her and place her in her playpen when I am leaving, she is def. not happy and very sad, which of course is what is causing "my" separation anxiety
