Well, good luck. I think that you have been very lucky that she has not destroyed anything so far. Unless she is a totally laid-back puppy, she will chew during her teething time. I definitely would be worried about leaving a young pup unattended in any areas where there are electrical cords or anything that she could pull off of a shelf, etc.

It's different if you are just talking about leaving her out at night, as long as she is confined to your room where you are and you can hear what is going on. But if she is young, I don't think giving her run of the house is a good idea yet. Too many things she can get into or destroy (do a search and see how many people have had couches, chairs, tables, etc. destroyed because they left their dog out of the crate for a short period of time).
