Hi Guys,
Coco has been with me a week now and is 8weeks old!I seems to have made it through the first 7days with my sanity but have a few more questions/discussion topics?:
1)How much socialization is too much?
I take Coco out everyday with me,to see family,to go to the shops go on busses,trains,long journeys quick journeys...everywhere!I've been trying to make sure she experiences all of these things from inside her bag,half out on her leash,in my arms and relaxed and chewing on something.Since she has only had ONE shot she obvs can not go on the floor yet but I want her out and about getting used to noises of the city and meeting as many people as possible...HOWEVER I get quite a few people saying "Oh isn't she too young blah blah..."
Have I been wrong in getting her out this much?Should she just be at home,playing n pooping lol?i make sure that she eats at designated times and she will nap frequently too.
2)When do I start preparing her to be left alone?
So far Coco is only in her crate at night 11-5/6am and maybe for 30 mins in the day when I eat/shower.Other then that she has been with me,or napping in someones arms/sofa/bed.I don't NEED her to be alone atm but I will in the future,am I right in thinking that preparing her for this now(8weeks)will make it much easier in the future,or is she too young?If so how do you suggest I start?At the moment she does NOT like being alone,she will make the most peculiar noise ever(seriously she sounds like a deranged parrot) and throw her self at her cage and try and climb it!
New pics(Have I done this in the right place?)
Here she is in her bag,holding her chew of the day:
Here she is at work with me and BF on Londons famous Portobello road(Do let me know if you visit!I'll make sure you get a good discount at our stall!)
And here she is being a cheeky Coco on the bed with me :]
