We used to breed small dogs and we found that if you have a stuffed animal about the size of the puppy for them it mimics sleeping with the litter and makes them feel less alone. Make sure the stuffed animal does not have "eyes" that are hard plastic and can be chewed off. This will happen and toddler puppies can choke on them. Doc is also right, having a clock that ticks is useful too. If you are gone all day having something that makes noise in the house like a radio or tv on is good. Puppies are so much fun!!!
