Do you leave her food in the cage when you're gone? If not, do that. Have you ever heard the phrase "don't shit where you eat"? It applies to dogs. Totally serious. When my dog was still young, we would put him in his cage (an oversized one) when we were at work. He was known to chew anything that he could get to including shoes (a new pair of Ferragamo's had to be thrown away...sad day), toilet paper, clothes, and furniture.
It was only for 8 hours that we'd be gone but he would still use the bathroom in his cage as a way of telling us he was upset for leaving him. As soon as we put food in there with him, it stopped.
Now that he's older, we leave him out when we're gone since he's fully potty trained and he doesn't chew things up!
