It's like waiting on a new baby without all those labor pains (HA!) I am sort of freaked about the possibilities I hear about hypoglycemia, heart problems with tiny pups and watching her very closely so that she doesn't break a limb or a bone. I'll be a nervous wreck. i have purchased everything from bows, sweaters, toys, collar & leash to carrier and crate complete with princess pink cratewear. I haven't bought food yet but the lady who raises them says she uses Science diet small puppy bites.
I have a daytimer ready to go for her paperwork, shots, when to spay and about the microchip for her. Am I forgetting anything?? I guess my biggest concern is all I have ready about how difficult it is to potty train a tiny yorkie, so I welcome any and all advice.
Thanks for listening and thanks for the welcome. I'll send pics when she gets here in a couple of weeks. Wish me luck. You're all great!!!!!

Hi, welcome and congrats! I am a new mommy too
. Sounds like you are on the roll! Much more prepared than I was! lol Just wanted to mention that you shouldn't use a collar with these little ones, instead use a harness. They are many different types of harnesses, I'm sure someone could recommend a good one. A collar can cause trachea damage. Also, potty training is a PAIN. At least for me it is! Number one rule is patience and praise. Always praise them when they go where you want and never punish for an old mistake. It just takes time and work, some are better at it than others. Good luck and congrats on your little girl again!
