Thank you Sheryl. I am so nervous that I'm not doing the right thing...too much of this, not enough of that. What is the deal with the sugar water? A friend told me to put sugar in my lil pups water. Not sure how much or how often or if completely necessary. Our pups name is Baylee. She is to darn cute for her own good. We don't have a crate for her yet so we keep her in a rubbermaid large tote, no lid...pee pad on one end, blanket on the other. No food or water in there but she is only in there over night or when we are not home. Is that horrible? How many hours can they go without food or water? Thinkng now about the blood sugar thing. The people we got her from was feeding her Diamond brand dry food. We bought a can of pedigree puppy and she has been eating that but a couple of times she has gotten into my older dogs Purina One adult food. Is that terrible? She is actually my son's dog. But I babysit during the day. My grandpup! You mentioned that her size sounds good. Thank you. I needed to hear that..lol...she is even to small for a collar so we will wait a few more weeks before introducing her to that. She has had 1 shot so she needs at least 2 more before we take her out in public anyways. Hopefully by then she will be big enough for a harness.
