We don't want her in a crate. I get a day or two off during the week. Hubby gets every weekend off. Corey works about 2 blocks from where we live so he will be home on his breaks to let her out and let her play. She will also only be home alone for about 4 maybe 5 hours most of the time. That is not including my hubby's 45 minute break to spend time with her. We do plan on taking her for walks/runs. Also to the park that is down the road from us. She will also have alot of toys too.
