I posted a reply but it won't show up for some reason...
So second attempt (sorry if the previous reply shows up).

I totally agree that Arion should have been with his mommy and siblings for a few more weeks; but the previous human "parents" separated him from his mommy and siblings at five weeks. They were feeding him way too much Gatorade. Now, I understand that puppies and dogs are given Gatorade to counter the effects of hypoglycemia and/or dehydration (I personally wouldn't give my dogs Gatorade); however, Arion was neither suffering from hypoglycemia nor was he dehydrated. They were feeding Arion Gatorade thinking that he wouldn't eat solid dog food. They're not bad people, just lacking information and/or misinformed (I'm being optimistic here).
My hubby and I run our own business so we are able to stay with the puppies all day long. We take them everywhere...even to business meetings. A couple of quiet and well-behaved puppies in their crates won't hurt anyone...am I right? I brought him home early because I knew I can give him the care he deserves and desperately needed. He is thriving physically and mentally. Well maybe except the ocassional teasing by my hubby, you know, the whole squirrel NK army walk thing (hahahaha). My hubby was never a dog person until Apollo and Arion came along. He makes fun of them because he know he cannot live without them (muahahaha).
Thank you for all the warm welcoming replies and advice.
I will post pictures soon. I just can't capture Arion doing his "NK army walk".
