Good luck with your pup. She's lucky you are home all the time. Make sure she is eating, as she is much too young to have been fully weened. Also, young pups are prone to hypoglycemia. Please don't take her outside, as her immune system is very susceptible to anything she is exposed to. Don't tolerate any biting since mom and her litter mates would have taught her bite inhibition, as well as breeder and mom starting the potty training process, and teaching her doggy manners. Also, just like an infant, she needs lots of sleep. Don't let her play too hard as she can over exert herself. Check the YT health section for the proper vaccine protocol for her. There is no point in killing what little immunity mom passed on to her with the milk. It's in your favor to follow the proper protocol which includes at how many weeks she should get which vaccines. Don't leave your pups alone together, at least not yet. Make sure neither is aggressive towards the other. I'm assuming at this point, your male is twice as big as your new female. Make sure she is warm enough, and her space doesn't get drafts.
You don't really need grief from us. What you need is to be smart, for the sake of your new pup. And you'll also need lots of luck and prayers. I hope you don't go through some of the issues others have had with extra young pups.
