I think your home is PERFECT for a puppy. You have furniture, which will provide lots of chewing interest for her. Plus, the nice, expensive carpet will more readily soak up accidents than the cheap store brand carpet. So you're covered!
Crate training is a wonderful thing. Highly recommend it. And going to puppy kindergarten will socialize her and teach her some manners. You'll be fine with her because you'll pay attention and work with her. Just keep everyone in your family consistent with their commands to her and she'll pick up quickly enough.
Here's hoping the owner doesn't come get her. If they've not shown interest so far, it's pretty doubtful that they'll show interest before Sunday. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
