Oh ok this is a huge relieve cause I'll be gone during the day for work and was thinking about taking him to daycare before work but obviously the costs of that is crazy. Currently, he stays at my boyfriend's cause his room mate is home throughout the day but his schedule is changing so he isn't going to be readily available and I do want him to spend some more time at my apartment.

We do need to get him on an eating schedule cause right now, we just leave his food out all the time and he nibbles on it throughout the day. The breeder told us to have fresh water and food for him all the time so we haven't gotten him on a set breakfast/lunch/dinner schedule but obviously, as a lot of YTers have noted, that getting him on a set eating schedule helps with knowing when he has to potty and if he isn't feeling well. I think I'll try easing him into it after the holidays and after his neuturing which is mid January. Maybe try it for February. I do have class once a week after work on Wednesdays but I can do the daycare those days so he has interaction throughout the day.

You guys are a huge help!
