I confined Fred to a designated area and put his peepee pad on one side and his bed on the other side, with his water and dry food dish a little to the right of it. It seems like he's whimpering when I pay attention to him but when I pretend he's not there, he'll stop!
I don't know if I should play with him more or not?
I played with him for 1 1/2 hours and then he napped for about 20 minutes. Then he awoke and started trying to escape his little confined area by headbutting the corner!
I don't want to let him have free roam of my room yet because this is the first night and I don't want to spoil him to the point where he's always with me in my arms and I can never put him down!
How long will he sleep for? How long did your yorkie sleep for the first night home?
I can tell he's not having any seperation-from-his-litter-and-mom issues because my breeder prepared him by taking him away from his mother and litter a week and a 1/2 before I picked him up so when he left today, he hadn't seen them in 1 1/2 weeks. He's warming up to me and fell asleep in my arms on the way home and when I make a kissing noise he'll lick my cheek!
Also, when I saw him making a circle around my computer chair, I put him on his pad but he didn't pee on it. I played with him some more and then I looked away and when I looked back, he was pooping on his pad! I was shocked. Maybe it was coincidence?
He's been biting my finger when he plays as well.
Are these all good signs?
What should I do when he whimpers in the middle of the night, assuming that he will?
