I would take her with you since you can, what a wonderful thing to be able to do. If not I would confine her to a smaller area then the kitchen until pee pad or litter training is well established. If she is a chewer it could run you into trble to letting her have the whole kitchen. Ex-pens really work wonderfully and give them more room then a crate

the bad thing about crating, is that you should only keep them in the crate for however old they are...like 2 mos. no more than 2 hours, 3 mos. 3 hours etc. I would suggest an xpen, this way you can set it up in your kitchen, you can put the pee pad at one end, and her bed at the other end, and her food and water in between..if you want, pm me with your e-mail, I'll send you a picture of how I have mine set up...I love the xpens..

First congratulations. If you can take her to work that's what I would do. Try and see how it works for the two of you, and the other members of your office.
