I just got him Saturday and he is 11 weeks old. The breeder sends her yorkies home between 10-12 weeks when she's confident they are socialized and ready to go. If they need to stay longer she does, two of his sisters are still there. I feel bad that he has to be home during the day but I have to work and if I waited until I was unemployed to get a dog I'd never get one. Oddsock I tried the Kong yesterday and once he couldn't get anymore out of it he just ignored it. He's a tiny one so I can't use the wobble feeder either. He has a blanket of mine which he loves and a toy that still smells like his litter which he also loves. He's not crated but is penned in my half bath downstairs which I personally think is too much space for him. As far as my son, I'm sure that's the case and I talked to all of my kids this morning to let them know they either needed to walk out the door and ignore Cerulean or go out the back if that would be a problem. They fussed because they think he's a puppy and I'm being hard on him...yeah so they'll be reading a puppy training book the minute they get home. I've been doing alot of research on separation anxiety since last night and have found some useful tips but they'll only work if the kids are consistent as well. Cerulean might not like the change but in the end it's all for his good. |
