sorry for being so full on with the details!!!!! just want as much help and advice as possible. we try our best but things like the heat outside, being in an apartment, working etc etc mean that we have to just try our best!

Your routine sounds very good and I think 10 to 20 minutes isn't bad at all as you have only had a short time. Do you have to shut the room door? There is a soft toy dog you can buy that has heart beat in it that makes them think its a litter mate and comforts them on seperation.
