I received my 6 week old fur baby, ZoE, just a couple of days ago. I thought she was awfully young to be adopted out, but having been a previous yorkie owner, I wasn't too scared. (My college aged kids bought her for me as a present now that I'm an empty-nester and I think they went for cheapest cute pup vs. quality of breeder). She too needed a quick bath shortly after arriving home, due to my own fault...I put her in her crate for less than a minute, while I was unloading items from the car & she pooped in it & got it all over herself. But a quick lukewarm bath with baby shampoo, followed by a very low heat blow dry, had her cleaned up in no time & was a nice lil bonding time for us, as I calmly talked to her & petted her through the whole experience.
Getting a new puppy is so exciting! Best of luck with Harley

Kacee loves cottage cheese. She loves yogurt, too, which is what I prefer to give her. She usually has a teaspoon of yogurt once a day.

No reflection on you but

Florida law states:

(4) A person may not transport into the state for sale or offer for sale within the state any dog or cat that is less than 8 weeks of age.

Please post the breeder or "pet store" that sold you this puppy so we will all know that they are breaking the law.

Congrats on your new baby boy! Can't wait to see him grow. As for sleep deprivation, I lost ten pounds when I adopted Ally, whether I needed to or not!

Having a little pup is just like having a baby to take care of. Hopefully, he will get to the vet soon. It's important that you have him checked out. I think I would just wash him with a cloth and then make sure he gets dry quickly so he doesn't get chilled. I think a bath can be very stressful for some dogs. I'm glad to hear he is eating well. Good luck with your precious new pup.
