Decide what foods are best to feed.
Look at the vaccinations usually given and decide if you want to give all of those, what ones are necessary in your area and how often they should be given.
Talk to vets and maybe even tour their offices to pick just the right one.
Save up about a kazillion dollars for toys and accessories. 
Read books on training and behavior.
Pick your groomer or read up on how to do it yourself.
I see a lot of people trying to decide what vaccines should be given one day before their first vet appointment. It is really best to take your time and research. The same goes for the food. |
Thanks for all of that! I've got a running check list of things, like questions for the breeder (before born, once born), house training and general training ideas, and other various things but hadn't thought about some of your ideas!
Part of what makes my situation even more frustrating is that the "go" date is so far away. Between now and then I'll be moving (over the summer) so I can't do anything to prepare for puppy, since where I live now isn't where she'll live! But I'm totally trying to scope around town where are good places (groomers, vets, etc) but a bit afraid of looking like a crazy lady if I go to places now and then don't show up for services until 9 months from now!
Good ideas though! I'll add them to my list(s)! Thanks!
