Overwhelmed! But lovin' it

*yikes* our older cat doesn't care one way or the other about dogs but the younger one picks on our Boston while trying to play with her and sometimes actually pounces on her and lands on her back! Isis doesn't like a spray bottle of water though so I will just be sire to have one handy to keep the pups safe.

Gl and welcome to your furbabies and you

Really? Like the little fruit gummies for babies? I never would have thought!

For treats I like Gerber Graduates mini fruits. They are bite size, really tiny, I think smaller than bite size and they dissolve easily so not much chewing is needed. I know a lot of people use Cheerios but they gave Chloe P gas. She nearly ran my DH me off the couch! He He. Good luck and enjoy!!!!

OMGosh! I love your avatar! Too cute heehehehe!
I am all ears for suggestions on toys for both the pups and our girl, Madge. Even at 6 yrs old she will shred a squeeky toy in 2.3 seconds flat and I haven't found much if anything she can play with for any period of time because she is so rough on toys she eats them!

Welcome to YT! So excited to see your babies.

I would buy Buddy Splash by Cloud Star for the tangles - it is filled with Natural herbs & oils - works wonderfully & smells terrific. I love the Lavender & Mint - but there are also 2 other scents. Here is there website www.cloudstar.com -- you might be able to find it in a local pet boutique or a vet's office.

My 2 think carrots, bananas, apples, watermelons, pea pods, sweet potatoes - are all treats! And when you want to but some fantastic treats you need to order some Yorkie Yummies from Chattiesmom

Somebody already said this, but I just wanna say it again - make SURE you get a cleaner specially made for cleaning animal pee... Nature's Miracle, Wee Wee, etc.

And the bitter apple spray is really cool too... we've had the same bottle for three months now, ever since we got our pup - you usually only have to spray something a few times before your pup decides it's no fun to chew on that particular object, and he leaves it alone from then on. I'm happy to say our remote controls are completely intact thanks to bitter apple spray :-)

I can't wait to see pictures - you have so much fun (and insanity) in store for you and your family!

TeresaM - thanks! I forgot to add toothbrushes to the list and yes! I read here about the Cheerios and since I do have kiddos at home we always have Cheerios (and vegetables and fruit for supplementing the kibble) For detangler, do you use doggie detangler or is the stuff formulated for kids ok?

I will post pictures as soon as I can

I use a doggie detangler, because it's formulated for their pH type. But I'm sure the kids stuff would work too, if you already have some in the house. I wouldn't worry about buying any at this time. Just wait and see if it will be needed.

Welcome and congratulations!!!

thanks everyone! I am adding suggestions to my paper list so I don't forget anything

anyone have any experience with those UGODOG mats versus wee wee pads? It looked like it would be cost effective, green and simple to keep clean.
