| Besides the usual stuff... I love the PetGear playpen I bought for Lulu. She sleeps in it at night & uses it as her safe place during the day. It's been very much worth the $$. Also, I love the Madan pin brush I bought from toplinepet.com. You'll need good grooming tools & the Madan pin brush is great. Almost forgot...if you plan to take your baby with you a Kwigy Bo bag would be beneficial. I just got mine about a week or so ago & I love it!

| Ellie has a playpen. She learned to jump out of it, so it is pretty much useless now. The SnuggleSafe is pretty cool. Hide-A-Squirrels are so darn fun as are treat balls. The little plastic carriers aren't worth it to us because if you get the smallest one, they can't spend long periods in it. So for travel we use a carseat.

Now splurges, oh my, you could spend a fortune, on bows, n clothes and all sorts of things. Get paw pad protector, get very good brushes n combs, a very good detangler, and a good grooming spray. Splurge on high quality shampoos n conditioners, but get trial sizes as your pup will be growing, and the coat needs may change.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | It is an ointment you put on the pads of their feet to protect the pads when you are out walking in the winter Most pet stores have this , usually found in or near to the grooming supplies.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | oh yes Spray hose and restraint ONe thing I got was a portable spray hose attachment for the sink I wash Razzle in. get the kind that has a feature where you can keep the spray on Also bathtub restraints - so you can use two hands to wash dog. You also might like to have an empty plastic squeeze bottle - you know the kind that ketchup comes in. Then for washing the face you can use the squeeze bottle Blowdryer that comes on a stand so that you have two hands free for brushing as you are drying the hair.

| I love my Kwigy Bo Alex bag for going places. It looks like a purse and you can take them anywhere. I have a metal exercise pen for my two when I want them to be near me but safe from running into the road (Examples: weeding in the front yard, doing work outside, etc). I have a large metal crate with Khloes bed, food, water and per pad in it. She stays in this when we are gone because she will otherwise potty on the floor (she's almost 7 mos). I think it's good to splurge in things like brushes, shampoos, food and treats I feed Blur Buffalo but am going to start rotating different foods into their diets (Orijen, Innova, Wellness etc). Good luck with your puppy supply shopping! It's a lot of fun
