Answer #1

An eight week old puppy needs a warm place to sleep .. preferably indoors. H e’s just a baby and shouldnt be outside unless fully supervised. Hope he’s settling in now.

Answer #2

If his nose is running yellow or green crap, he is sick. If it is clear…he is not. Pups do all kinds of baby type things…and shaking a little in his sleep wouldn’t seem that strange to me. Also, puppies sleep A LOT…so it’s not strange that he goes right back to sleep. I hope he had a puppy shot at the breeders, and that you are planning on getting him to the Vet ASAP, for his parvo/distemper series. Until you do, DO NOT take him anywhere. If you can take his temp…it should run between 101 and 102.5 F.

A Husky pup should do just fine going outside to do his business, no matter what the temp is…they were bred to do work in the Arctic… Don’t just let him out, go with him…and make sure he goes so you can get him back in.
