Excellent advice! Remember this is the first time she is away from her
mother and litter mates. There was always someone she could cozy up
to and was familar with all the scents. Plus 9wks is still so young to
expect anything other than what's she doing. It takes time for them to
get confidence in their new surroundings and you. I would say at least
another month before you can expect her to go about on her own and not
need you so much.
Have patience and remember you have a new born baby in your care who
knows nothing about the world.
