    Hello this is my 3rd post so sorry to spam with questions but I just want to make sure I have as much information as possible ready to pick up my little boy this Sunday.

    His name is pies and he’ll be 8 weeks old.

    Can anyone recommend a good bag / carrier to carry him around for socialisation?

    We have a 5 year old black cat. Does anyone have any advice for me regarding cats and dogs living happily together?

    With crate training at what age is it ok to leave our boy in the crate for 2-3 hours. I will be taking him to work with me for the first couple of months and then I will be going back during the day to take him out, play, walk and use the toilet before heading back to work. On busy days at work I will be using a dog walker to take him out in the middle of the day and I will be taking him out in the mornings and evenings. Does this sound ok or should I be planning differently?

    I have so many toys for him to play with and chew but can anyone recommend anything else that I should be using for his teething?
    We have also got some puzzles and stimulating games for him to keep his mind busy and active.

    We can’t wait to give our boy all the love in the world and try to give him the best life possible. Sorry for all the questions I just want to get things right for him.

    We have wanted this for so long and now we have bought our own house we can finally have the puppy or our dreams that’ll be a much loved family pet.

    Thank you for reading :)

    Teide and pies :)
