I know that you've already been banned but hopefully you're still reading posts.

Here's your answer, short and to the point. If you bring home a pup that is barely 7 weeks old, with your schedule, she WILL die. No ifs or maybes about it.

Those posters who have brought home a puppy at 7 weeks had more time to take care of their puppy and did not have your schedule. You cannot leave a 7 week old puppy alone for 10 or 12 hours at a time. I just rescued an 8 week old puppy and she had to be fed every 2-3 hours. Since I do work, my mother was able to take care of her when I working otherwise I never would have taken on the responsibilty.

You need to wait until you can find one that is a little older if you really must get another one.
