A result of my boredom, as Mylie sits in pain on my lap from her surgery & I wait to take her to the vet for a check up. I don't know what to do with myself when I don't work!

Have you considered using a crate if you are not using one? If you are worried about keeping her in a small spot if she has been running loose up to now, consider using a larger sized one. Don't let her get too dependent on you being there because it will be a lot harder for her to adjust once you go back to work or have to run out to take care of your personal life. I know it is hard at first since pups are so cute you want them with be with you most of the time, but a shiba with sep anxiety is no picnic to work with if it develops so it is better to have her adjust now but providing some measured controlled sep time by you.
What has worked for me is to keep all dogs and puppies on a routine (with the crate) as if we are at work even while we are home and also times when you can not attend to her,before she decides dry wall is a great creative activity. (LOL)
No point in having little habits become habitual that can crop up later in life. As adults sometimes animals will revert to old patterns, particularly in times of stress. Hate to see you remodel the house and later have it torn up if for some unknown reason in their crazy shiba brain they decide they are upset and release pent up frustration in a manner that familiar and soothing, yet counter productive to all your expensive hard work on the home. Better to guide the behavior now while it is minimal I say than to have habituation later.
Good luck....Keep the pictures coming .....she certainly is a cutie!
