| Congratulations on your new pup! Can't wait to see pics of little Elmo and to hear all about him. The only advice I can give at this point and thinking back to the day we brought our tiny Toto home is ... be very, very careful not to step on him!!! We were mortified and quickly learned to dance the "Yorkie Shuffle"!!!

Find out what the pup was eating before and continue with that for now until he has adjusted. Make sure the pup is eating enough at several intervals throughout the day and most importantly, at this stage, do NOT leave him alone for long periods of time. | |

| I hadn't picked him up when I posted that. He's actually 10 weeks looking at the papers (sept 21st is his birthday) and they gave me a list of what he eats...a little dog food but mostly real food (scrambled eggs, chicken, and rice pudding) ...any advice on what to feed him when he gets older? Also, I want him to sleep in the bed with us but he's so tiny I'm thinking I should wait...any advice? Thanks! Lexi ps- here's some pics

| Welcome to YT!! well if your a flipper then I thnk it would be better to wait so he can sleep on the bed.... because once he sleeps there once he wont want to sleep anywhere else besides you.
