7 Weeks and 1 Day Old

June 14, 2008:

Sorry for the delay. I was at a birthday party.

I am soo excited about Pandora! I can hardly wait for her to be 11 weeks old!

Just wondering, have you ever picked out a dog and had to wait a while before it was ready? If so, how on Earth did you survive the wait?

The breeder told me that in the first few days, Pandora will cry a lot because she's going to miss her mom and brothers. I read in a book that in the first few days, you should keep the puppy's crate in your room because she won't want to be alone. Do you think that is a good idea?

I heard that until Pandora gets her second set of shots, we can't let her go anywhere where she might pick up germs. Especially feces because she might get parvo *Shudders at the thought of a poor little puppy getting sick*. How old will she be when she gets her second set of shots? I think around 13 weeks but I'm not sure.
