We're bringing Huey home this coming weekend and I'm trying so hard not to plan out every single minute but I can't help myself! I'm beyond excited!
I know the leaving his family will be traumatic, the breeder said this is often the most difficult time for a young puppy. I want to do everything I can to put him at ease and make him comfortable. Any suggestions for the best way to do this? I've read about making his crate feel like a den lots of toys, blankets, wrapping a hot water bottle up in a towel to simulate the warmth of his mother, even wrapping up a ticking clock to simulate her beating heart? Should we let him sleep in our bedroom that first night or get him used to being in the kitchen?
