| just to add one more thing to the list above, have an old t-shirt or sock or something with your scent on it to leave with the puppy when you're gone. I've also heard of wrapping a clock that ticks in a blanket or something and putting it in their crate at night or maybe when you're not there. It reminds them of their moms heartbeat. Good luck!!! |

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | I would also suggest getting something that has the mom's scent on it...this will really help those first few scary nights for the pups...I did this with my girls and Magic still sleeps with her blanket from her real mom....if you can't get that, I would get a heating pad for nighttime....

| Don't forget some sort of healthy treat for rewards, toothbrush, toothpaste, baby gates for keeping the little one out of rooms or stairs, and pee-pad spray to help with training. I don't think I forgot anything. Good luck with your new baby. Enjoy! |

| That does seem to cover about everything. I love the "get a good week of sleep before you get your new puppy". This is a wonderful piece of advice. I tend to buy my puppies human infant toys more than puppy toys. The teething toys are wonderful for the puppies...nothing filled with fluid, but the kind that is a suffed animal with the rubbery hands and feet for teething on. |

| 1.A WONDERFUL vet (better if they specialize in small breeds) 2.Blanket (an electric one sometimes does the trick too.. helps w/ upset bellies) 3.Crate (sized proportional to your pup.. too much room might mean poop & pee issues) 4.Healthy puppy food (I prefer Canidae) 5.pee pads (always a GREAT idea!) 6.Collar/harness/leash 7.Id tags 8.Puppy vitamins/dietary suppliments 9.Styptic powder or pads (in case of small minor cuts or nails trimmed too short) 10.Nail clippers 11.Brush 12.Toothbrush 13.Chew toys out the wazoo! 14.X-pen (for safe & controlled play time) 15.Something from his breeder that smells like his mum or litter mates (my breeder let him choose his fav fuzzy toy out of his xpen and to this day it's still the one he guards from everyone and drags everywhere!) And something with your scent on it. 16.Ok no one's allowed to laugh at me for this one! There's a teddy bear you can buy @ walmart in the baby section and when turned on and timed it plays the soft sound of a heart beat(just like when they were in the womb) and it helps babies to sleep! It's made to strap onto the cribs bars (babies could roll over in their sleep and suffocate themselves) so you can attach it to their x-pen or on top of their crate. 17.Heavy water & food dishes (ceramic is good) plastic isn't a good choice bc they're so light that they tip and bc they trap and hold bacteria very easily. 18.Lots of sleep BEFORE the puppy gets there.. 19.Bathing supplies, big fluffy towels (stick em in the dryer before you wash them so they're all warm and comfy!), look for natural shampoo(less chance of irritation) 20.Some warm sweater or coat (especially if you're getting your new baby this winter!) Hope this helps! When do you get your puppy!?! How exciting!
