Hello new to yorkietalk and looking for some advice with my new puppy.

George is 10 months old and I got him in the evening 6 days ago and he went for his first set of shots the following day. I don't want to take him outside yet until he has his second set of shots as I have read they can die and catch diseases. He is going back for his next set in 3 weeks...

The problem is I'm afraid he will feel isolated and unhappy here because I live alone, work from home and don't have many people who visit me and don't know anyone who owns a dog he can play with. He has gone for a car ride and to the vet that is about it. He has interacted with about 8-10 people or so since I got him. Is waiting that long to go outside and socialize under those circumstances going to be alright for that length of time or will be develop behavioural problems? I'm afraid he is also bored we play with his squeak toys and chew toys other then that he sleeps a lot or follows me around.

Thanks in advance.
