I"m trying to think what I got for Gizmo. I know I got him a good, step in harness, a matching leash and collar (of course, keeping in mind he never stays in his collar when unattended) a crate, tons and tons of toys, all natural chicken training treats, eye wipes, puppy shampoo, a brush (good to get them use to being brushed early), and lots of cute little outfits! Hehe!!! Please be sure to post pictures! Once again, so happy for you!

As for crate training, we discovered with Gizmo that just putting him in there when we go to the store, have to work, or when we're not in the . But he sleeps with us. I guess it's different with every Yorkie and every Yorkie owner. I know alot of YT members also use expens. So, that would be something to consider also. Also, your pup will probably begin teething, no rawhide for fur babies! Gizmo loves bully sticks so that's another options. Oh he loves his kong too!

| As a groomer/breeder/exhibitor I highly recommend Bio-Groom Fluffy Puppy....It is a mild soapless, tearless shampoo and gentle on the skin...I continue using it on their head when they get older and you change to a different shampoo.

| I just started using John Paul Pet Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioning Rinse (Belle was itchy too) and so far I really like it.... today was bath day As far as crate training.... I don't like it. Belle has an ex-pen for the rare occasions when she is home alone. You might want to get a carrier for her, too. |

| I had a sneaky suspicion this was going on. When I noticed the PM going on!! I am sooo excited for you!!! Ok, on to what you need. Get some Nutri Cal to keep on hand for low blood sugar. Of course, you need a food and water bowl. And food!! Here is a site that will tell you about foods. Dog Food Comparison Chart - Dog Food Ratings of Premium Dog Food and Supermarket Shampoo is a tough one. I am using the Chris Christensen Day to Day shampoo. I really like it. I have also used Yorkie Splash and Shine. I liked it too. I really like the smell of it. Here is the link to it. Yorkie Splash and Shine | Yorkie Shampoo - Sets I did not crate train Rosie. She sleeps right in the middle of me and my husband. She keeps him in line!! When I first got Rosie I purchased her a bed that is now her toy box!! I can feel your excitement through my computer!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!!
