Currently right now I have a female chihuahua/terrier and pretty soon I'm planning on getting a 7 week old labrador. I still live with my parents and they know of this, the main problem they have is the pup keeping us up all night. They recommend me to wait until the pup is older so it won't cry/whine anymore when we take him in. I mean...is that even possible? I'm thinking that no matter what, they will whine/cry until they adjust to their new home. Is this correct?? Now I mentioned that I had another dog because...at night, my chihuahua/terrier sleeps in her kennel, so what if I had the lab pup slept in that kennel with her, would he still be lonely and cry/whine? Crap...but then again, it's still a pup. Now I have a fear of it defecating in the kennel. Feedback please ladies/gentlemen! thank you!!!
