Hi All,
Serial lurker, first time poster (no kids so feel slightly fraudulent!).
We're due to pick up our mini dachshund puppy in 4 weeks time. He is my first dog (husband has always had them) and I'm madly in love with him already. Herein lies the problem... I know that the first night is going to be painful - he comes from a house full of dachsies so being by himself is going to hit him hard. Clearly the right thing to do is to leave him to it with no fuss at all but I have NO will power. I'm the kind of person who buys two chocolate bars thinking 'Ooh, I'll have that one tomorrow' and then five minutes later wonder where they both went.
Can anyone recommend any good ways to help him settle/me ignore him?
