| Last minute check Well, our baby is almost ready and we are getting prepared. I was wondering about some things before she gets here: 1. Do i have to wash her bed in a certain kind of detergent 2. Can i use roach spray without worrying about her? 3. How secure do i have to make my outlets and wires. Will she jump up and try to eat them? Thanks |

| 1. Do i have to wash her bed in a certain kind of detergent? I use regular Tide, nothing special. 2. Can i use roach spray without worrying about her? I wouldnt. I only use petsafe bug killer/repellant. Its a poison and since she will be so close to the ground, I would think it could make her sick. 3. How secure do i have to make my outlets and wires. Will she jump up and try to eat them? Very very secure! I wouldnt worry so much about the outlest, but you really have to watch that she doesnt chew your cords! That is the main reason why I used an ex pen when mine were babies and I left them home alone.Both of mine tried to cut their teeth on them at first!

| Thanks, Most of my cords are running up to something. I thought about getting some small PVC pipe and running all the cords through and securing the pipe to the wall......just a thought. |

| They sell this type of piping made especially for your cords at Home Depot. Its pretty inexpensive and its mainly just for cosmetic purposes because it runs right along your baseboards, but it would work great for protecting the pups!
