Hi all!
Ivy is finally home with us.
It's only been a few hours and she's showing a lot of character.
I have a crate set up in the family room that is connected to a playpen. She doesn't mind being in either one if I am in the room but one I leave, she whines bloody murder. We are having our first night tonight and we discussed that we are going to lock the crate and just let her cry, even if it takes days. But I wonder, doest that method really work?
Additionally, she's been peeing and pooping on the wee wee pad in the play pen or a few inches away from it. I would love to take her outside after naps, meals and playtimes to get her used to doing it out there but she has only had one set of shots.
All advise, suggestions and recommendations are welcome!
