Thank you all for your advice! I am going to try and measure his water. He is almost 5 lbs. so hopefully he'll drink around 5 oz.
Thanks silyjillie for remembering and asking about Louie. It still makes me so sad to know he's lonely
He still seems to be barking, but not as much as he used to (our neighbors tell us, but they are very understanding as they are small dog owners also). But now he is playing with his potty pads. When my boyfriend comes home, they are not shredded, but they are flipped over and/or in a ball (which you can imagine what happens when he has #2!! I thought about taping them to the floor but I'm not sure if he'll try to pull and then start shredding them. Im crossing my fingers he'll stop soon, but not sure how what else to do.
Oh yeah, I tried posting a picture in the avatar, but the file was too big. I need to try and figure that out
