I am so excited!!! I brought home my first yorkie yesterday. He is so adorable and playful. I love him so much already!

Oliver (Ollie) is only 7 weeks old. (I know that's considered young to be taken home.) He weighs 1 pound. I am taking him to my vet tomorrow (he got a clean bill of health from the breeders vet) but I feel like I should make sure everything is ok.

I have a couple of questions...

>How much should he be eating throughout the day? He didn't eat very much today, so I'm a little worried. He is drinking a good amount of water. I am using the food the breeder sent home with us. Should he be on a schedule or free feeding at this age?

>Is this a normal weight for 7 wks?

> He makes a little noise while he is sleeping, it's hard to describe. I am a little concerned about that. It doesn't happen all the time, just every now and then.

Thanks!!!
