Default Lucy's home

Hi everyone,

I just brought Lucy home yesterday; she is 10 weeks today. She is so adorable and such a good puppy. Our first night with her went rather well; she woke up at 3:30am and I took her outside (brrrrr..I live in Wisconsin) and of course it had just snowed so I had a really hard time telling if she peed or not b/c the snow came up to her belly. I think she did by the way she was standing. I praised her and put her back in her kennel and she cried for less than a minute and went right back to sleep. She is a ball of energy also, wow!

Anyway I have a question, do you measure how much you feed your puppy? The breeder told me to feed her twice a day and let her eat as much as she wants but after 45 minutes take the bowl away. Lucy seems to be eating okay but I can't tell if she is eating enough. I feel the bowl probably way too much since I'm not measuring and she spends a couple of minutes eating and then takes off to play, play, play and there is still a lot left in the bowl. Should I measure? Should I feed her in her kennel? I have been just leaving the bowls on the kitchen floor.

Oh, another question, the breeder taped her ears yesterday but after several hours she got one ear out of the tape so I just took it all off b/c it seemed to be causing her to scratch at it and so far as of this morning her ears are still standing up! Can I expect them to stay up now or do you think they will flop down again?

Thanks for anyone's input!
