Hi Everyone!

I am so excited/anxious/nervous.
At 10:30 this morning (in 6 hours), I will be getting my very first Yorkie!

I went to the pet store today to pick up what he may need.
I will list what I got, let me know if I am missing anything:

• Water and food bowl
• Leash and collar (very cute too!)
* Sour apple spray (give it a try)
• Toys (balls, squeaky toys, etc)
• Brush and comb
• Bedding
• Kennel (which will come with the pup)
• Mat for the 2 bowls
• Treats (and a few kinds, in case he doesn't like them)
• Doggie food
• Clothes
• A cute, cute bee Halloween costume
• Gate

I also know I need shampoo, and other things, but this is just a start. Please let me know anything I am missing. I want him to have it ALL!

I need an ID tag. Any sites that you would recommend I go to and get them (the cheaper the better)

Also, I am afraid since I am adopting hm and he is 2-years-old that he won't be loyal to me or that he won't see me as his owner, mom and care taker. Any advice on that would be great.

As I mentioned, today (Oct, 4) is my birthday! And it couldn't be a better 25th b-day!!
•I get a free cute, cute Yorkie!
• They are running an extremely low cost vet clinic tomorrow. For a Rabies, Distemper and a check-up by a great vet costs $25! I can't go wrong with that, so we are going as soon as I get my lil' Yorkie!

I have one more important question: The dog has had is name for 2 years. He has spent most of the time in his kennel as his owners have not had time for him. Would it be cruel to change his name, if it sounded the same and started with the same letter? Would he get used to it, or should I keep it as is?

Thanks!
