Saturday was the day I been hanging for the last 5 yrs. Time for us to pick up our puppy Sheldon. Sheldon is a mini foxie. I don't know who is more nervous, me or the puppy.
I have never raised a dog from pup before so it will be a challenge no doubt.All the dogs I had when I was younger were from 6 mths and up. So pretty much over the puppy stage, but still a puppy if you know what I mean.
Our first night with Sheldon was fun and sort of what I expected. Once he came home he started to explore the house and wanted to pee everywhere. This did not bode well as we have carpet throughout. The night seemed to go like this - Sleep, cry, pee, play, sleep & repeat. It will be interesting to see how much he will cry when I get up for work at midnight during the week. I may have to factor in extra time to have a play to keep him quiet.
Sunday we are gong to leave him home alone as we are heading out for a little while, I just hope he doesn't cry too much and annoy the neighbors.
get an old clock that can hide under his blankets. The ticking is like his mother's heart beat. He should stop crying. He is a little young to be away from his mother..
ReplyDeleteoops also PLEASE don't forget training. Train whilst young. Its cute when a puppy eats from the table no so cute when adult dogs do .They are so easy to train when little. If you play with him int he AM he will expect that as a routine. USe the clock and try to keep him quiet int he AM and he will learn soon enough to go back to sleep when ou get up
