I have been playing around with her being alone in the lounge whilst I'm in the house doing chores etc and it's gone fine. She also sleeps out of her crate most nights too.
So I decided f it lets give it ago... The good news? No mess, no destruction etc etc.
The bad... Well I checked in on her regularly with the camera l, and after she finished her chew she lay down Infront of the baby gate and waited... Until I came home 90mins later.
She did head over to the sofa a couple times, jump up, then head back to her place Infront of the gate.
Is this ok? She wasn't in distress otherwise and often when I leave her when I'm in the house she does that for a few mins and goes to her bed/sofa though on occasion she just waits there for me but it's not usually for that long.
Edit: Thanks all! I am glad to hear this is ok, I think I was feeling guilty she basically just waited by the door for me to come home
