I'm not sure it will work for more than one night, I may get the blow up bed out to I'm not sure if it'll work for more than one night, i.might get the blow up bed out tonight. The idea of taking him upstairs for a few nights is not going to work, there's no way at all he would stay in a box ( he'd tip it over) or a fabric crate( he'd scratch at it ) plus think it's good to give Monty a proper break from puppy. Monty is so very very good with him , perhaps a bit reluctantly, I want to give him space to rest tooHaha, I slept a few nights next to Squidge’s pen on a dog bed, too! Whatever works

He's a bit better but not great, there's still a red patch on inflammation/ infection around the puncture wound, though smaller than it was last Friday/ Saturday. It's still really painful, though probably not surprising if a large nail tears straight into a muscle. The ABs (amoxiclav) are making him feel a bit crap still, nausea, etc, and he's not eating until late lunchtime as he can't face it. If he's still in lots of pain by Friday, I'll get a gp appt as maybe he will need another course.How is your OH @Natalie ?
Maybe he is going to benefit from the big bed on his own for a day or two before everyone joins him
I am trying to get him to rest a bit. The garden situation isn't ideal but is manageable.

You'll work it out, I'm sure. Squidge was a nightmare in her pen; once I was in Cornwall and I got her in a crate in my bedroom, she was SO much better. Of course, by then we'd done a fair bit of crate training, so she was happy in it overnight. The first while is just all about working out what works best for you and this new puppy in combination. There is no one right answer; you just muddle through until you get the right fit
Just realised we call him this in one of the videos! He was Bentley/Ben/ Benji for the first hour or so. Then when he was sleeping we sat down and trawled the internet for names, and hoped he would look like a Jacob when he woke up
tbh I'm still not sure but we've got to call the poor thing something other than puppy

I agree. Give him comfort and yourself as much sleep as you can xx
And remember, getting a new pup is great fun - and it’s also a shock to the system! Be kind to yourself.

Jacob is a lovely name but if you decide he looks more like a Bob, George, Fred (or anything else) you have every right to change your mind!hoped he would look like a Jacob when he woke up

Both Willow and Squidge had hiccups All. The. Time! So cute
I wouldn't be too worried with the state of his poo for the next day or so (other than obviously bad stuff) - he's bound to be a little unsettled from the disruption and it will take him a while to adjust - that can do all sorts of things downstairs

Hiccups are usually fine some are worse than others. keep an eye on him he's just a bit stressed so his poos might be a bit squishy. He might do more because he's excited worried. Just let him settle a bit it's all new. Just try and relax a bit if things get worse speak to a vet or the breeder. Keep to his normal feeding regime.

Maybe a little too much food or just the settling in ? Nothing to fret about at all . Reubs had hiccups a lot , par for the course xxCan I just check a few things with the puppy experts. Four poos in five hours ok? Two a little soft, two quite firm? All on the grass outside
He's had hiccups four times now, they go in a minute or so, can't ever remember Monty getting them
