Luna, the baby

So my mom got a dog, actually its a puppy; a husky-lab mix.  Her name is Luna.  She is adorable, but really needy.  I was hesitant to accept this dog into my house for one thing because my mom works a lot and the puppy is 10 weeks old and I did not want to end up taking care of it all the time. Another thing was I didn't really want a dog and my mom kind of just told me we were getting one.  My mom has this thing she does where she just tells me what she is doing, kind of like what I do to her.  I tell her what my plans are instead of asking what she thinks about them because I feel she always judges what ever I am doing.  But thats what moms are good for.  To judge and criticize and tell us what the right thing to do is no matter how wrong it is for us. Anyway I find myself getting mad at her when she decides to just leave this puppy in the crate.  This is her solution for when she wants to go out and do something.  Oh just put her in the crate and she'll be fine.  I don't think she realizes that life will not be the same until the puppy gets much older.  She can't do the things she did when she didn't have any responsibility.  She thinks that keeping the puppy in the crate for hours is good?  She thinks she can work and still take care of this puppy?  You have to look at this puppy as a baby.  Would you leave your 10 week old baby alone for hours in its crib?  I just don't understand why she got it.  She says she just wanted a puppy, but is that the practical choice?  Oh no! I'm becoming just like her.  She would say the same thing to me.  Its only been a week or so, so we will see what becomes of this situation.
