<DIV>Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself and ask a few questions if I could. I've been lurking a few months, and just got my pup the day before yesterday. He is a sweetheart and quite the cuddler! My name is Suzanne, his is.........well, we don't know yet....... :-(</DIV>
<DIV>He was free fed until I got him and I want to put him on a schedule, I'm trying to do this, but he doesn't eat a lot at one time. Do I need to pick the bowl up after a certain amount of time and let him get hungry? I'm thinking giving him treats for his outside pottys is maybe filling him up...? But, I know I need to give him treats when he does what I want him too. He grunts a lot, does yours?? I want to crate train him, should it be covered to make it more 'den' like? Or be open all around? Where I got the dog from fed him Pedigree dog food. I want to change this to a better brand, how should this be handled? Is he too young to switch? Will it upset his tummy? Should it be gradual? The treats I am giving him, he is not interested in all the time, should I be making them more 'special'? Like cheese or something? By the way, he's 14 weeks. Thank you so much for any help.....</DIV>

<DIV>I also want to say I am sooo glad Brudder Elwood is home and on the mend. I just adore the stories he writes! I watched all weekend waiting for updates and checked my e-mail often. </DIV>
