Don't forget tooth paste! (doggie toothpaste) cause these guys are prone to tooth problems, and the sooner you start the better.

I also commend you on giving your girls the joy of dog care. My mom (after making me pay for it) allowed me to get my own horse at 12, and she used it as a great chance to teach me responsibility. I ended up starting my own business at 14. To get the pup to love your girls, definitely encourage them to help with treats, food, and walks. Also if they get to be part of the training process both the girls and the pup will learn lots. With Harley I'm the master the one who's in control, but he knows "Daddy" the bf by name and sees him as the playmate, he knows that Daddy's the fun one who lets him break all the rules :P.

Good luck.. can't wait to see pics
