Can you put your dog in a bathroom behind a baby gate so she can move around a bit more - 8 - 10 hours is a long time for a 4 month old to be in a crate without being able to stretch/move around and go potty - I like Emilie's idea of having someone come in during the lunch hour for about an hour to play with her. You can get references from your vet - Pet sitters list their business in the yellow pages also. And many of them post their business cards at Petco or PetsMart; but it would be good if you could get a referral from someone.

Or the Dog day care could be an option for you, even if it was just for 2 days a week; it would break up the routine for her and give her some fun time also.

You never did mention, Has your mom changed her mind about watching your pup? It sounded like it was working for you.
