To respond to some of the comments i received on the previous post. I ask questions because i was unfamiliar with owning a small dog and i was coming here for advice. In time of crisis with animals i'm on it but when it comes to our own sometimes we forget what we educate people with. So please if the comments are going to be negative please keep them to yourself.

My only concerns now is her chewing and constant whining. She is ok in the kennel. I put a eeyore doll in the with her and she snuggles right up to him. But when shes outside in our back yard she will sit at my feet and cry and cry and cry. I know shes tiny so i'm wondering is it the warm ground that is irritating her paws? And because she is so young( the doctor said 7 weeks) do i condone that behavior? Any tips would be helpful thank you.

well, i don't know if you consider this a negative comment but i think being only 7 weeks old and tiny she very scared of the outside world that is why she sits by your feet and crys.
I think she is way too young to be going outside. Plus she is not fully protected from diseases yet..
Yes, the hot ground most likely is hurting her tiny feet.
If you can get an ex pen maybe it would be better to train her to use a potty pad till she gets older and bigger.
As for whining , she probably misses her mom and littermates.
Try putting a hot water bottle under her bed in her crate at bedtime, that may comort her a little.
Good luck
