The First Week With a New Puppy or Kitten

What actually helps in week one, from people who have done it recently.

Week one is mostly about sleep, theirs and yours. Everything else can wait.

Write down the date they came home before you forget it. You will forget it.

Take more photographs than feels reasonable. They change shape in a fortnight.

Mark the start somehow. A tree planted in their first week is dated forever, which is more than most of us manage with the photographs.
