would this work out fine? General Dog Discussions
please give me answers! ok, so im being completely honest here. dont give one word answers. im 11 year old girl who wants a dochshund puppy named dot for christmas. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs. the puppy i want is 5 weeks old, and looks still a little woozy from being born and all. Heres my plan to keep it safe before it can defend itself from my other animals:what i wll do is i will put a cage in my room with a bed, food, water, and a cat litter box thing, plus a few toys. He will be kept in this cage for awhile during the day. heres a scheduele i have planned for the dog-1. at 12 am m going to take him outside to go potty and then inside to drink milk out of a bottle. then i will stick him back in the cage.2. in the morning, i will take him back outside to go to the bathroom and then give him more milk out of the bottle, and bring 1 cat in to socialize in the room, or at least so the dog gets used to the cats. the dogs come later, and they are only being put together in a room, not a cage. they will socialize for 5-8 minutes, then i will let the cat out of the room and feed my puppy a mix of wet and dry food.3. when i go off to school, i stick him in the cage for till i come back and leave him with food, water, and a place to go potty. will he start to bark????4. when i get back to school, i will let him out again so he can get used to going outside and not in a litter box. i will give him a little bit more milk (about 1/4 cup each time, is that good enough or to much?) and then do my hw in my room so he can either rome the room or cuddle with me.5. once i finish my hw, then is the time he gets to really get out. when i finish my home work (hw) i will bring him downstairs to go outside, then he gets to rome the house with me fallowing him. when my 2 dogs want to say hi and stuff, i will pick up the puppy, bend down on my knees, and let thim sniff and lick and such. when i go of to dinner, i will stick the puppy back in his cage for the 30 min that i eat.6. for the remaining time when i eat desert and watch tv on the couch and relax, i will bring him out of my cage and snuggle and play with him.7. once again, before i go to bed i will let hiim out, refill is food bowl and go to sleep, then repeat the cycle again.OK, so please please plase tell me if this is a good plan, if there is to much of one thing and not enough of the other, and if any of this will make him bark, pee, chew, anything. for one of his toys, im getting him a rope bone which i hear is good for puppys to teeth on before they stop chewing. also, this puppy comes with all his shots and stuff, and i told my parents i would pay the vet bills. if all goes well and he doesnt get sick alot, then are these expensive? THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH AND I REALLY WILL LOVE YOU IF YOU GIVE ME AND ANSWER!!!!!!!!!THANKS!!!!!
