The vet will be able to re-enforce the advice about keeping the pup home until after all vaccinations.

Other than that, all you can do is be available for her. Undoubtedly she will need your help and advice as this pup grows.
I would copy the above post for her! If this puppy gets sick and dies she will be devastated. Some people really do not understand that young puppies should not be drug all over town before they are immunized. This is something that really needs to be stressed above all things! He is very young and susceptible to so much.

Other than that, yep...I agree, just be there for when she undoubtedly will need you.
