How do you bathe and groom your Yorkie? I'm getting Daisy in 4 days! (I can't believe how time flies!) And I'm getting supplies. So I have five questions:

1. How would you recomend bathing a small puppy for the first time?

2. What shampoo/conditioner would you recomend?

3. How often and when should I give her a brushing and trim her hair? Or

4. Would I need any special things? Like skin care products?

5. What would you recomed for flee and tick provention?

That was topic #1...

Topic #2:

What should I give her to play with? She's such a small dog I'm worried that all the toys our old dog have will be too big, or have parts that will fall off and choke her!

Topic #3:

Well I thought I'd let her sleep in her carrier for a while until she gets old enough, but the other day while I was visiting her she barked and cried and whined and carried on whenever I put her down! When I picked her up she was fine, and when I put her down the same thing happened. As long as she was near my feet it was okay though, but when I put her in the pen she pitchd a fit! I'm afraid the carrier plan won't work, so the only other choice I can think of is to put her in the bed with me! But I'm afraid I'll roll over her and crush her! What should I do?

Topic #4:

What else should I get do you have any ideas? I have so much planning to do! Just tell me anything else that I need to get or know and I'll be so grateful!
