I would love any helpful advise for my little Claire Bear because she is my crier when I leave her alone. I have 3 puppies Chloe and Claire Bear I keep in an x-pen at night to go to bed and they do really well until about 5 in the morning yeek They have their litter box toys and water in with them and a little night light is on and I cover the pen with a blanket at night and they go right to sleep until about 5:00 am. But Claire my second pup cries when I put her in the pen to take a shower or do anythings where I can't be in the room with her. I really want to help her not be so fearful when I'm not in her sight. I've read on here not to give into them when they cry because they will learn that it works and keep doing it but it is so hard. The youngest is so little I keep her in her a little crate by my bed because she needs more attention during the night to get up and go potty and get drinks she is only 1 lb and will be 12 weeks on Wednesday. I also worry about putting her in with the other 2 because they are both 3lbs and Chloe is 17 weeks and Claire is 16 weeks. They are very gentle with her when they play. I love all my babies and only want to do the best for them. They are all doing great on the litter box training but I know they are still to young to have free rein of the house yet. I've decided not to work until they get a bit older because they need my attention. I'm a dog artist and work from home anyways so I will be with them most of the time.
