Thank you so much for all your responses. I have been feeling so lost and this forum is helping me a lot! I've never had a puppy before so I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm trying to do the best I can for him. He's so tiny and I've only had him for two weeks but I'm already in love with him.

He didn't throw up today, I started feeding him the food he was eating at first and it seems like the problem was that new food I gave him. His apetite even seems to be getting better as today I didn't have to beg him to eat. The vet said he will get his second round of vaccines on Saturday if he's fine all this week. I really want him to have all his shots so I can start taking him outside.

I also left him in the guest room (which has nothing dangerous within his reach) for about 45 minutes during the day. He whimpered and cried a little but eventually starts playing. I'm still sleeping with him in that room because I feel horrible for him to cry all night. I'm waiting a couple more weeks to try and have him sleep there alone. I don't take him into my room because I figured it's easier for me to eventually leave him alone in the guest room than to take him to my room and then try to move him to the guest room.

The potty training in another story....I'm trying to use wee wee pads because he always seems to need to pee in the middle of the night and taking him outside is harder at that time. Also, every time I take him outside he'll put everything in his mouth and that worries me. Have any of you had success with wee wee pads? If I catch him peeing somewhere else should I pick him up and interrupt him and take him to the right place or just let him finish wherever he's at? I've made the mistake of letting him go around the house too much and he's peed everywhere already, I'm trying to confine him to the guest room more time to do the potty training, is that a good idea?

Thank you so much for all your help!
