I just got Lexi Friday & she is 10 weeks old. The first night she slept in her playpen (closed) for six hours & then I checked on her when I heard her & put her in bed with us & she did great. Last night she slept all night with us & I got up in the middle of the night to take her to her potty pad & she used it. Now she cries (& will not stop crying after even 30 minutes when left closed in her playpen. (I was afraid it would harm her crying that long so I did take her out). Her food/water, bed, toys & potty pad are in it. She cries even if she can't see me & when not playing she wants to be in my lap or at least touching me. I can't do much as she wants me to hold her most of the time. I bought a puppy carrier that attaches to the front of me that she can ride around in. Should I not do that? Am I making matters worse?
Don't get me wrong- I wanted a lap dog but I need to be able to live a somewhat normal life too.
Since she is so young, is this type of behavior normal? Will she outgrow some of it?
