True... all she's known for years is that she is a good girl in her crate, and now you come home, maybe wake her up from a nap, and all she thinks is.
"Oh No....I'm supposed to be in my house when Mommy comes home??? "

When you walk in the door, do you make a big fuss? Calling for her in a high excited voice.. etc. If you do, then tomorrow don't do it. Just walk in and say hi to her, and go about your way. Or do the exact opposite. If you are normally quiet, then make a big fuss and tell her what a good girl she is... etc. Just to see if it makes a difference.

I hope something works Kimmy!!
