We were the same way. Bailey's first day with us was a short one. We didn't get her until about 4pm and then had about an hour's drive home. They we stopped at PetSmart and got everything we thought we needed - crate, food & water bowls, harness, leash, brush & comb, etc. Until that stop, we had absolutely nothing for her. I think that stop was probably a good thing, though. Obviously, Bailey was with us. It was the beginning of her socialization process. At least a dozen people cooed and gushed and made all kinds of a fuss over her, and she just soaked it up.
After we got home, I'm afraid the poor baby had hardly any time to stand on her own feet the rest of that day. Somebody was holding her almost all of the time.
