So it must just be how she is wired. One of the reasons he moved back home is because his roommate's girlfriend thought he wasn't feeding the puppy enough because she always acts so ravenous. She would feed the puppy in her crate while my son was at work and the puppy would have accidents in the crate as a result.

Not so happy that we aren't empty nesters anymore but happy that he is doing the right thing for the puppy. The puppy and our younger dog wear each other out which makes our older dog very happy because she gets to sit on the couch and do nothing. :)
