I'm so excited to pick up my pup on Friday I can't STAND IT.
Based on the info I've gotten here (thank you!), I've decided to put a pen up in my office. I've got a small carrying crate to triple up as a "bring pup home", "take pup to the vet", and pen "bed/safe place." I've also got a little dog bed in the living room for when I have him out and about. I bought some paper pee pads but I'm a little nervous that he'll destroy them while I'm at work so I'm ordering a few of the brown washable ones online. I figure I'll put pee pads in every room so when I'm playing with him I can take him right over.
I'm going to worry about him while I'm at work. But I'm trying to make his pen as cool as possible - like switching toys out, etc. and I'll play some music so he doesn't feel so alone...
Ready for the big day!
