How often do you take her out for walks? Play time? Socialization with other dogs/people? Crating the dog while you're gone is a good thing to do, especially until things get to a more normal groove. Just don't use it for punishment or they'll not like the crate anymore; it should be a cozy place they can have their alone time in. BTW, I got a new puppy a month ago; American Staffordshire Terrier. She's a wonderful dog and is learning commands pretty well and fairly easily. At some point I'll have to post pictures.
