| Finally, I get him..... Tomorrow is the BIG DAY and I am driving to San Francisco to pick up my new puppy that I have been waiting for....he was supposed to come on Saturday but threw up 3 times in the car on the way to the airport. Poor lil guy...all of his breakfast had come up and therefore we didn't think it best to have him board his flight from MI to CA. So tomorrow, I get him FINALLY.Woo Hoo!! Derby and I are so super excited. We will be driving about 3 - 3 1/2 hrs to SF & his flight is scheduled to land at 2:15pm. Please give me any advice, wisdom, supplies I should take, anything you can share with me to make me better prepared to make his arrival as easy of a transition as possible for him. So far, this is what I am taking in my car with me.....Derby (big brother), blanket, water, paper towels, baby wipes, harness, leash, puppy cal (like nutrical), food, treats, and a camera. Any other recommendations???? Thank you so much!

| Sounds like you have everything you will need! You are going to keep him in his travel crate on the way home, I hope (after he has has some time out of it, before the ride home)? Good luck, and have fun! |

Do you mean for his safety or just for him to feel save in his little den?

Yes Judy & Grandmatoall, I too will be loving him up if Derby will let me at him cuz I know he will be covering him with kisses. Hahaha Nancy....peroxide.....check! Thanks for all of the well wishes. I won't be sleeping much tonight. Too excited and a bit scared about having two and them keeping me up at night but I'm sure it will be wonderful.

| Also making my list.... I am making my list also. I pick up my baby Friday on the way home from vacation with all the kids. We will have a 10 hour drive after picking her up. Your list looks very similar to mine. I added one or two things to mine based on yours. What is the peroxide for? I also have some sweet potato baby food on mine. (I was told it was for calming their stomach & loose stools from the nerves during and before traveling.) In my case, since I'm picking her up directly, I also have 2 gallons of the water she's been drinking up till now so I can do a slow switch and hopefully avoid some of the runny stools. I think that is it that I thought of not on your list. Good luck w/ the drive and congrats! Jen |
