Hi there! I am getting a new puppy tomorrow (Standard Poodle, 8 weeks, from a reputable breeder), and I had a question.

My current dog is crate trained, but I got him a little older so he was already able to hold it for the night, but I know a puppy this young won't be able to. However, I also know that I shouldn't let the puppy out of the crate when he cries because that will teach him that he can cry to be let out.

So, how do I let him out in the night to use the bathroom? Should I wait until he stops crying and only do it then? What if he doesn't stop? Should I do it at a specific time each night so it's like a set schedule? Will he actually make the connection that it's at a specific time rather than that he is getting out because he is crying?

Thanks for your help, everyone! I will choose a best answerer =)

I am making my mom standing rib roast and yorkshire pudding for mother's day. The pudding recipe I have calls for milk at room temperature. Is this strictly necessary? Is there a way to get it to room temperature quickly? Can I use the microwave? I don't have time to just wait.

I already forgot =P Lol.

My 6 month old Standard Poodle puppy Percy just got back from the vet from being neutered. I have ointment, anti-inflammatory pills, and antibiotics to give him. My question is, how long will it be until he is fully healed? He is very energetic even now and wants to play, but I know it is best for him to keep it easy for a while.

Guess =) He is a purebreed and about 5 1/2 months old.

I keep accidentally adding misspellings to it, and I wanted to know if there's a way to delete them from the list.

They are the best pet ever, after all.
