we're naming him buchi. haha. i know it sounds weird. its a chinese food that is so little, round and chunky. lol 'cas he's so fluffy and he reminded me of that.

but even though with all the excitement and all, i am ashamed of saying that i am still not ready with his stuff. i'll be buying his bed right when i get him so he can be there when i choose it.

any advice on what the most important ones to get before he comes home?
I like the name. It isn't weird at all.

Well you have most of my list in my original post. If I was to cut it down though I'd say the food, water/food bowls, kennel, and piddle pads are the most important things. The rest will come with need.

Might I also suggest you don't take him with you to get the bed? If he doesn't have all his shots he could pick up something nasty at the pet store where other dogs have been. You really need to be careful even taking them to the vet if dogs with certain conditions have been there prior to.

I plan to hold my baby at her initial vet appointment when she gets home and my mom won't be letting her walk in the airport. Too many strange things she could catch and I don't want her getting ill. They shouldn't even go outside for walks in places where other dogs may have been (and especially in poop areas as they could catch parvo). If it were me I'd wait to take him out, but that's just my opinion.

If you want him to pick out something special with you, my suggestion would be to wait until he's older and fully vaccinated and then have him pick out a favorite toy or type of treat or something like that. Get the early essentials yourself.
