| 6 days!!! My baby Rylie comes home in 6 days! I'm so excited and I can't wait. I think I have all the necessary initial supplies. Food, treats, bowls, kennel, carrier, nutrical, toothbrush, toothpaste, Madan brush/combs, Espree shampoo/conditioner, baby gates, blankets, kong (and mini kong squeaky tennis balls for when she's a bit older), teething toy (it goes in the freezer!), 3 nylon bones (a nubbed blue dental one, a clear flexi one, and a flavored one), puppy pads, potty patch, coat and booties (for our snowy buffalo winters), Nature's Miracle spray, etc. She'll come home with tags and a harness. I plan to apply for health insurance for her this week. Is there anything that I'm missing that you can think of? I want to be prepared! <---paranoid mama I cannot wait until the 11th! The anticipation is going to kill me. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | You sound better prepared than I was and I thought I was overboard. Only thing I would suggest is that you get down on the floor and have a look for anything little puppy eyes will want to chew on or poop on. Then sleep non-stop between now and then because a new puppy is going to wear you out! I swear the bags under my eyes have their own bags now. But seriously, I hope you will have as great an experience with your new baby as I'm having with mine -- potty training accidents and all! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Congratulations! Sounds like you're perfectly prepared Can't wait to see pictures. Introduce her slowly to the winter cold, if you can. Make sure every time out in it is fun.

| fon: Thank you! SweetZiva: LOL the anticipation will only get worse, trust me! I was so excited before this and less than a week is sooooo close! Ziva is a very cute name by the way. <3 boopster: Oh! Good point. I will have to do that this weekend (I have to clean the house anyway). I totally forgot about puppy proofing even though it was in my YT for Dummies book I'll be sure to reread some key chapters before she comes home. Oh! I should also review my vaccine schedule and potty schedule pdf that I found here on YT (very useful stuff). I hope my experience goes well too! alaskayorkie: I will be sure to have pictures (well more than the little thumbnail I have now from her KS home). Trust me, I'm sure I'll have picture overload once she's home! I don't plan on having her outside the house AT ALL until she has all her shots (except to the vet to get her health check right after she comes home and for insurance purposes). That's why we have the potty patch so she doesn't have to freeze her tail off outside all the time . elemtchr99: That is reassuring to know I will post pictures ASAP after she comes home! |

| CONGRATS!!!! Seems like just yesterday, for me. i could not sleep the night before. I picked up my Riley July 23rd. Two things I got which were really helpful were a Snuggle Puppy for him to sleep with..... it has a battery operated heart.... which beats... and a diaper genie for the potty pads. ENJOY!! |

| OMG you sound very prepared - but really all you need is a couple of bowls for food and water and somewhere for her to sleep and a couple of pads to pee and poop. Everything else you willsee what you need with time. I am so excited for you just reading this. I love that feeling.

| You sound well prepared! There is just one thing you forgot! A shovel in case you get three feet of snow!
