i have 1-2 more weeks with this 6 week old foster puppy and it is getting harder and harder as he gets older and becomes more curious. it’s try to provide him with enough mental stimulation/socialization but recently even just sniffing outside for two minutes makes him over stimulated and scared. i haven’t slept in so long and he has this uncanny habit of always waking up/whining ten minutes into my nap but if i stay awake he’ll somehow sleep for hours. i just don’t want to give him separation anxiety but i don’t get a moment myself to truly to cook, clean, or sleep. i don’t want to traumatize him in the crate or pen but don’t want to teach bad habits. do you guys have any recommendations

i have my foster pup for 3 more weeks and am kind of losing my mind just staying in the house so i got a puppy sling to take him with me on walks without risking him contracting parvo. this way too he gets some socialization and mental stimulation that i can’t give anymore as he becomes more familiar with my house. is this a good idea?
