She seems to be doing really well and she follows everyone in my family around. =] I didat not know I should be giving her anything because she is so young still. She eats bill jack food and eats it well. I am actually at the pet store now so by all means please tell me what I need. Lol
Also being that she is so little is there a certain brush or comb that might work well? I have one but it seems soo big. Btw I have not taken her to the vet but she is scheduled to go this coming week as she will be 8 weeks old.

Thank you
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get back to you while you were at the store. I was at work and then just got home.

When you take her to the vet, just let him/her go over the shots still needed and what food would be best. Again, I would definitely keep nutrical on hand (if not, some karo syrup). Look up signs of hypoglycemia in a puppy so you will know what to watch for and if you see an issue, then give Buttons some nutrical or karo and get him to a vet. They can go down very very quickly when so small. Not trying to scare you - just inform so you'll know what to look for

At Buttons' age, all brushes and combs will look huge LOL. Try a small metal pin brush - there is a member here who sells some of the best (Madan) at toplinepet.com

She has combs there, too - you can just use a small flea comb for the face (this is what I do).
