I think your life is going to be a lot easier and less worry if you are able to get your dog at 12 weeks instead of 8 weeks.

I had a tiny yorkie at 12 weeks and her not eating was a constant worry - due to the hypoglycemia issues already mentioned. Sometimes I had to hand feed her; anything to get her to eat and drink. Especially, if they are little . . it doesn't take much to dehydrate. And I was here 24/7 as well.

It's great that you can come home at lunch time; but I do think this set-up is going to be better for a little older pup than an 8 week old pup.
