MH Mama:
I just have a question about confinement - Am I being cruel to keep my chi puppy locked up in a crate all day while I work. This isn't one of those little potty
training crates - it' fairly large. I sure worry about this. She is so glad to see me when I get home. I let her out all evening when I'm home to watch her. What
do you think? I'd appreciate any feedback from other dog owners as well.

I have no area that I can block off - my whole house
is carpeted. I have a little 1/2 bathroom but it really
isn't too much bigger than the crate I keep her in. The
big bathroom is carpeted.
