Thanks, will try and see what we can do. Just having problems at moment trying to find someone to come in and feed him when we are working. I took this week off but back next week. We leave the house at 7.40am and my daughters are not home until 4pm. Makes things a bit difficult for his lunch. Going out of my head with worry. 8 1/2 hours is a long time for a 9week old puppy to be left alone, especially without lunch.
