I also can ask my friend that lives next door to check on him and make sure he is ok. I just need advice as far as what to do to take care of him...I want to do my best on taking care of him and no one really seems to be giving me advice as far as what to do but not to take him at 6 weeks. The lady that is giving me the dog has already booked her flight to come at his 6 weeks without even confirming it would be ok with me first so at this point I cant tell her I cant take him and to fly another time. She is being nice enough to not charge me for her to fly here or to pay for his flight. I just need advice on food and how to take care of him. If I heard this from you guys before she went ahead on her own t hen I would of told her to stop and come at his 12 weeks 
Please...I just need advice now on how to take care of him food/envierment/how to love him... |
I would call a breeder and ask what they do at this age. Be careful of walking in. When I brought Castor Pollux home I put a pad with bleach and water at the door so ppl could wipe their feet on it before they came in. I also had a ton of blankets everywhere. watch for your yorkie being too ambitious for his size. Castor Pollux would climb up on everything, sometimes slip so I'd have to catch him, and help him. He'd sometimes climb up on stuff and not be able to get down, but this was at 3 months... so maybe your yorkie won't be doing that. so just be very watchful. VERY watchful, Castor Pollux gets into things that he shouldn't even be able to get into. Yorkies are companions by breed so they're really clingy (in the cutest way). Castor Pollux is almost 9 months and still whines when my keys jingle.
But don't be sad... I wouldn't start training at anytime soon but when you do i gave you some pee pad advice. @ petsmart you can leave your dog with the vet all day. The petsmart here has sterile rooms. When Castor Pollux was sneezing and couldn't go to daycare (dogs that maybe sickly don't go, owners are really responsible when it comes to stuff like that) so i took him to the vet for the day. he stayed in a sterile room with a vet tech all day. The vet tech said that they usually have er ding crap work like expessin anal sacs but having to stay with Castor Pollux all day was fun for here.
