Thank you for all your inputs. I have posted my questions in many different places, cuz I want to get as many input as possible. And what I have done today is: I feed her her late nite snack in her crate (so she will think crate=good; idea from Ash) and I ignored her when she was jumping on me while I have dinner. I went to PetsMart and bought a play pan and I will "give" part of the living room to Gigi while I am at work. I will leave her newspaper (toilet), her crate and water and oh toys too in there, so she will have "more freedom". And we shall see what it will happen. Cuz I have a feeling she does have some separation anxiety. As for walks, I'd love to try, but darn it was raining this evening when I wanted to start, so instead we "practice" walking in the hallway outside my apartment unit and in the garage while I was warming up my car going to PetsMart. And Gigi walk first time in PetsMart, she was busy looking at things and seeing all the bigger doggies and she cried a little probably she is a bit scared. I can't wait to go to puppy class soon, so she can meet more friends and can learn more commands. I just hope this "dark age" will be over soon...

haha... Nicole, you cracked me up w/what Buffy did. How about her brother? Sounds like it's only she who is naughty.
