Great thread! Well done!

Things I'd do differently:
1. Pick up the puppy when she is older--12 weeks and eating!
2.Let the puppy sleep in my room from the start--I am NOT tough enough for nights of crying.
3. Wet the kibble with warm water.
4. NOT buy a wicker basket-it got chewed up!
5. Clicker train early- I am starting now at 8 months.
6. Not expect my puppy to grow lots-- I was hopeful , but she is a 3 1/2 lb little one.

Things I would do the same:
1. Use the puppy playpen when we are not a home.
2.Go to puppy classes-they were great!
3.Socialise-I have a wee dog who loves people and other dogs.
4. Buy a car seat--best purchase ever!
5.Cut off that nasty puppy coat as soon as possible and get her used to the groomers.
6. Love her to bits!!
