You will need to make sure that your puppy receives plenty of rest. Do not let him over
exert himself for the first two weeks. Minimize their activity level so that their blood
sugar levels do not drop. Puppies are easily stressed by excessive holding. You should
limit holding the puppy to 15 minutes per hour unless he is sleeping on your lap. Puppy
playpens or play yards are best to house a toy breed puppy. They can see their
surroundings and not feel lonely. Feeding instructions and type of foods fed can vary
depending on the puppy. These will be given to you before you receive your new baby.

Place the Puppy playpen in a highly visible area of your home. Leaving a television
or radio playing softly when you are not home with him will help him not feel lonely.
This reduces stress during the 1st week after arrival. On one end of
the playpen, place the wee wee pad and on the other end place his little bed, blanket,
and his toys. Place his food and water bowls near his bed. The idea
is to get him to go to the other end of the playpen to do his business on the wee wee
pad. You can start crate training him when he gets a little older.
These puppies have very small bladders and in my opinion crate training
is not an option with these little babies until their bladder is larger.
They also feel very alone and closed off in a crate.
Place it away from an outside door so they won't get cold drafts. It's best
on a far wall or in another room where there is no outside door at all. This is
the best place to keep your baby until he is through with his shots. You may have
visitors coming in and may have small children with them. Your baby will be well
protected in this playpen. You will be able to fold it up and take it with you to relatives
homes if you wish, or have one in your office at work.
A playpen is an excellent way to introduce small children
to a new puppy. It gives the puppy a safe haven, while
the children are taught to touch and feel with your supervision.
You may come to my home to pick up your puppy. Our puppies
are not raised in a kennel. Your puppy is raised in my home.
