10 week old cavalier mix puppy first 24 hours home

Any advice is welcome! Yesterday I brought home my third (and last) dog. She’s a 10 week old cavalier/bichon mix.

I have two other dogs. They aren’t taking 3 and four so it’s been a few years since I’ve done this. How quickly we forget!!

It’s normal for her to just pick at her food the first 24 hrs right? She’s drinking fine and I’m happy to say no pee accidents! For a small dog, that’s a big win! Poop is different bc I haven’t figured her little body out yet.

My older dogs aren’t taking it very well but they’re each getting plenty of alone time and the puppy has crates and playpens so she isn’t in their space.

Also, is it okay to bathe her? She’s not awful but a bit stinky. I just wonder with the cold in New England.

I just need a little pep talk. I prepped like crazy and now I’m questioning myself. I’m single, 43 and have a great house but my brother is not supportive (yet he has 4 children between 3-8). My mom gets it bc I’m extremely maternal and this fills not having my own human babies but 3 is it. I’m done now!

So this is mostly me just making sure I’m doing okay!
