Congrat on your new baby
I have brought home a kitten that was less then 3 wks old (her mommy passed away) so I know how scary it can be but it sounds like you are prepared
I use potty pads when its cold and snowy and it seems to work out fine for us. I know yorkies noses are so pose to be black but not sure about the other breed. I'm sure I'll be crucified for sayng this but I believe that 8 weeks old is an appropriate age to leave momma. At 8 weeks, the puppy will start bonding either with dogs or humans and personally I want my babies to bond with me
Sorry but I have to disagree with a few people~She should have all (or most) of her teeth by 6 weeks of age, and they should have been started on food by now. I know some people will start feeding mush at 3-4 weeks and as they get teeth, transition them from mush to kibble. I have a litter that will be 7 weeks old tomorrow and I started them on mush at 5 weeks and haven't' softened their kibble in over a week.
