    Leaving my puppy alone
    Every now and again I will need to leave my new 8 week old puppy alone for around 8hours in a day.

    I have come up with the solution of where to put my new pup and what it should play with. But the only dilema I am having is feeding times!

    I've been told that a pup should have 2 meals split in to half, so that's four eating times a day.

    How can I make this possible when I'm out all day?

    Anyone else in/or has been in a similar situation?

    Is it possible to have a friend or family member stop by and feed the little pooch?

    If the excellent sugestion above won't work, try a professional dog walker. At that age, I am feeding 3 meals a day. Also every new puppy owner needs to read the sticky at https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251802
