Hi all,

So I just got my new puppy yesterday, he is 3/4 yorkie and 1/4 s**tzhu..haven't settled on a name yet, it's between dozer and moto...anyways I was wondering..so yesterday he did really well, played with all his toys, slept most of the day, seemed to be a pretty relaxed little guy, the came bed time..now he is used to a crate because he and his two brothers slept in one overnight together. And throughout the day he would go in it and sleep in the crate which has a blanket that his mother slept on.so we went to bed at 10pm and at 12am he woke up and whined, so I waited for him to stop for a split second and took him out to his peepad where he went pee, then put him back..for about ten minutes he whined but I put a warm rice bean bag thing in there as well as a ticking clock and that was good until 330am and he woke up again and we went pee again..then this time the whining wouldn't stop...so I put him, crate and all in the bathroom, and he proceeded to whine every hour or so until 7am. When it was time to get up I took him out when he was quiet and played with him and he went pee and I got ready for work, and when I left I didn't really acknowledge him, I just gave him a small kong with some peanut butter in it and left, I am leaving him during the day in the bathroom, so he has more room to play until I get home for lunch. I would only pick him up if he was sitting quietly, but of course he was following me all over the house while I got ready...now does all of that sound ok? Or should I be doing something different? To make him more calm..or is it just because he is a new baby and he just needs a few days to adjust...sorry that's a long post...thanks ahead for any advice
