Hi Kathy. Glad you got your baby. We named our bulldog pup Stella Kay...lol. Anyway, as for the sleeping, try a hot water bottle (filled with warm water) in the kennel. The warmth should make her feel like she's laying next to her mom or litter mates. As far as the food, ask your vet what he thinks. You may have to do what I did and buy an assortment of foods to see what she will eat. Fifi was very picky and now will eat nothing buy Science Diet small breed formula. I wanted to give her a brand with better ingredients so I tried Innova (which everyone told me their dog's love) and she turned her nose up at it. Gotta love these picky little dogs...lol! Have fun with your new furbaby! ~Lacey
