Ashley,
Lynn will spend a lot of time with you when you go to pick up Bandit, going over what to do and what not to do. She will also send you home with a small bag of dog food, a hoof (my girls love it!) and a small squeaky toy. You'll also get lots of written info that you can refer to.
One thing I didn't anticipate needing so much of is, blankets. I go through a lot of baby blankets with Abby. I use them in her crate and in her playpen. If you're going to put his food and water in the playpen, he'll definetly go through more blankies
Good Luck!
