I remember when I flew to TN. to get Zada. I brought the carrier, two blankets, two wee-wee pads, two sweaters and soft toy and a chewy. The breeder gave me lots of things too including Nutri-Stat which is about the same as Nutri-Cal.
You could bring some bottled water and small dish and put a wee-wee pad down on the crate pad and give her a little bone. I'm getting excited all over again.
