Good luck!!!!!!!!!!! |
Thank you Dee!
About the scissors, I was afraid that children's scissors wouldn't cut well enough. I was thinking of getting a small pair of surgicals and I think they make some with blunt ends. I just want to make sure they cut well. As for the blankets and towels, I was thinking more about using them during the whelping. I wouldn't leave too many in there afterwards... much too scared of the puppies getting smothered...!
You should see my list... maybe I have too much, but I so want everything to go well...
