Hi there, I'm new to this forum now and looks quite handy.

I got a puppy 2 weeks ago, he is a Daschund and 10 weeks old now. He is very playful, full of energy and cute. However, tomorrow I have a problem. I have to leave him alone at home because have to go back to varsity. The only time someone will be home is at about 1pm, and we leave in the morning at about 7am. He is quite an attention seeker, so at nights he cries before he sleeps, for a long time. I made up a room for him and put down newspapers and all his toys. I'm really scared for him to stay alone for such a long period, because he really doesn't like it. Is everything I have set up for him for his long day ok? I will also put down fresh water and food for him. Will he get use to being alone? Please let me know... I can't stand hearing him cry.
