I got my puppy when he was 8 weeks old. I think when he wasn't sleeping, I was holding him or carrying him --- or at least playing with him. But, of course, he slept most of the time at that age.
He ate well - no problems there.
Also - he slept with me from the first night on. He'd just snuggle up - and he slept all night long from the beginning.
I guarantee though - if I had ever left him alone for a few minutes, he would have cried.
I'm sure that within the first few weeks I had him, he was beginning to venture around the house on his own - and decided he didn't want to be with me every second.
***** I think it's his sleeping with me that kept him so content.
Good luck! Carol Jean |
