| How old will your Yorkie be when you get him/her? Do you know his/her weight? Particularly if small & young get NutraCal in case of hypoglycemia. I also like an x-pen in addition to crate. The x-pen roomier than the crate. You can put bedding at one end & wee wee pads at the other end.

| awww Congrats!!! You will love the journey you are getting ready to embark on!!!! I don't know how I went so long in my life without my yorkies!!! This is a great place for help, tips, advice, and friends!!! Make sure you feed your baby premium quality food...on that FAQ I think there is a section on "what to feed your yorkie"..and you can check out dog foods and their quality ratings.....anything you get at walmart...or grocery stores and places like that are all 2 star and lower...Pet supply stores usually carry 4 and 5 star foods!! (and most of them will have samples of their premium foods..so you can try out and see which one your baby likes best) We want the best for our babies and they deserve it!! Good luck! Can't wait to see pics!!

| Congratulations on your new baby. That thread is very informative, but don't get the collar. A harness is the way to go.
