Chewy is home alone most days. She used to get crazy and tear everything apart in my room (she stays in my room). She figured out how to open the garbage can and tore up all the papers inside, opened my closet sliding door and ate 2 pairs of shoes (my fav flip flops
), etc. But its been 4 months since ive had her and shes fine about it now (knock on wood). Ive learned to puppy proof, tied up the wires, put my shoes on shelves in my closet, and tape her wee wee pad to the floor. I know that she sleeps most of the day because when i get home there is usually 0-1 pee on the pad and when shes done licking and biting me she runs to pee. Just leave lots of toys and something warm and soft to curl up for a nice long nap and ur baby will be fine. try to get him used to it by leaving for a few hrs at a time but theyll be fine, i dont know why ppl freak out about leaving them home alone...they are dogs after all.
good luck on your job hunt
