A little update, today I switched her food and water and left it out by the door where I go to take her to the backyard. It is also by her play area and play pen. She seemed to be ok with it and even went to the food by herself and stayed sitting when I walked away.
So, I think she doesn't like her shower area too much being that we leave her there unattended for a long time. Tonight I think I will leave her in her play pen until we fix up the laundry room for her or get another gate to create a bigger area for her in the bathroom. She never seems to whine too much when left in her play pen. I don't know why we just don't leave her there, even throughout the night. Usually, during the day we put her in her play pen that way she can see us coming and going, and then during the night we put her in the shower area. Do you think we are confusing her by designating two areas for her to sleep in?
Aside from that issue, we're also starting to have a chewing and eating everything we find issue...
