I've had my 8 week old bernedoodle for 4 days. She's so sweet. Sleeps great in her crate. And is good about going potty outside. Days 1 and 2 she was so sleepy, didn't care about us or food or water or anything. I was concerned lol. Days 3 and 4 she's so alert and loving her food/treats, but also alert to when I leave. I put her in her pen in the morning to get ready she cries the whole time. I ignore it and only come back in and say good girl or give her a treat when she's quiet/calmed down, but the second I leave she starts up again. I have to go to work. She's been alone for about an hour at a time, she cries each time I leave. Today was over 2 hours. When I came home she was sleeping, we went outside, played, relaxed, then put her back in her pen to finish my work and she cried again, with me still in the room. This time less, maybe like 10 min. Is this normal? Should I be doing something else? Do I just need to be patient? Sorry I'm a nervous new pup mom
