Yes it is a lovely idea Tabs. It hopefully helps the pup settle first night away from Mum and siblings.
I used to do the same for my pups, though not a teddy.
Sometimes I think people don't give it much thought that it is the first time these wee ones have ever slept alone.
It must be scary for them when they wake during the night and everything familiar has gone and they are alone in strange place.
No wonder they often cry at first is it.
Like his festive jumper.
