Is my puppy's constant sleeping when left alone normal behavior?

Question

I have to leave my puppy alone while I go to work but I have a puppy cam so I can check in on her throughout the day. I also have a family member who comes to play with her for an hour in the middle of the day. But when I check in on her through the puppy cam, she is always sleeping or lying down. She will only play if someone is home, but otherwise, she won’t play by herself. She just sleeps. Is this normal? Pet's info: Dog | Maltipoo | Female | spayed | 2 months and 24 days old | 7.1 lbs

This is normal, and I would be thankful that she does not seem to have separation anxiety or destructive tendencies when left alone. You sound like an an extremely caring and attentive owner as well. At 3 months of age she should still be fed 3 times a day and/or have food available for her all day to prevent hypoglycemia or low blood sugar which can happen fairly easily with small breed puppies. Congratulations and good luck!
