Steph M Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 At least if that's the case I'll be justified on the shoebox of new toys and things hidden under the bed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Indie is a total spunk! I think our wait has just been shortened substantially. Fingers crossed!! Oh that sounds very promising Steph !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just out of curiosity, what would you guys consider to be pre-puppy arrival essentials? I mean, I have the shoebox of shame under the bed but all that's in that are some toys and books and the 'fun stuff', what else would you say was a total lifesaver through the puppy welcoming stage? Big and small item suggestions welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaCC Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Awesome name! But that cutie definitely doesn't have a disfigured face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 No thankfully no disfiguring scars. But in every other way he's like the character so I figured it worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big and small item suggestions welcome! Hi Steph, if you know what diet the puppy is being fed I would stock a bag of this food. Most good breeders will send you home with a sample, but I reckon it's better to be safe than sorry and buy a bag in for yourself. If it's not the food you plan to feed then purchase a bag of that too so you can do a slow change over. Have you worked out where puppy is sleeping? Are you going to crate train? If so...crate. Pee pads or newspaper, if you plan on the laundry/bathroom/play pen route for house training. Old towels..these are always handy no matter what. I think if you have the basic needs covered you should do fine. bowls etc. Have you got a light collar and lead? That way you can start to lead and collar train. Worming syrup or tablets...or whatever parasite prevention you plan on using. Puppies need to be wormed every 2 weeks till they are 12 weeks old. That's all I can think of at this stage. And you've jogged my mind to stay laying in the supplies myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Bjelkier, nice looking puppy. :D Little fluffsters,always remind me of the many soft toys I had as a kid (many of them were dogs. :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph M Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Got a clicker and some pee pads today, an anti-bloat bowl for piggy puppies, bedding and crating is the next, then a brush, shampoo and nail clippers etc. That's as far as we've gotten as yet.

Dory the Doted One Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've realised, I'm now at a quandary. Do I change my Forum name to reflect new dog owner status? Dory & the Willow Pillow? (Yeah...new puppy will be called Willow. :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melina Bea Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Bjelkier, what a gorgeous pup!!! Tyrian is my favourite character! Showing my ignorance here, but what breed is he? I'm new to dogs so I'm sure this is a stupid question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to dogs so I'm sure this is a stupid question... Melina Tyrion is a Havanese. It's not a stupid question at all, they're still quite a rare breed.

Dory the Doted One Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 6 weeks to go. And yet it took no time for house inspection time to roll around. Time. You are a funny, malleable, contrary thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhok Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So puppy questionaire was sent with the photos of our house minus bedroom photos of course (as if anyone would want to look in there :laugh: ) I got a reply that she will be taking photos for me to have a look at so I am taking that as a good sign :) --Lhok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
