[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 126188, member: 1967"] I am thinking of adding another little Shih Tzu to our family. I am trying to figure out some things. Hopefully y'all can help. We have a 10-year-old Shih Tzu named Abby who is on a special food diet (low- residue). How would I keep her from eating the puppy food and keep the puppy from eating the low-residue food? I thought about crate training the puppy and keeping the puppy food in there but eventually she will be out running around the house and will have access to the low-residue food. Another problem is that although husband works from home he does go on business trips. Obviously the puppy will need to go outside to potty more than Abby does (she waits a whole day until I get home from school). difficult child says that she will spend the day here with the puppy but I'm afraid she will sleep right through the time that the puppy needs to be taken outside. So, do you guys think this is workable? Have you added a new puppy to an older dog household? I could wait until July when I would be home at the beginning but the puppy that I have found online is calling my name . . . ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
