Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | How exciting! Congratulations! I know you are so ready to pick up your little one! I hope the time comes quick for ya! Your list looks good to me! The only thing I can think of that is not on there is outfits/bows if you want to do that type of thing. Get 'em started early! It will make life easier in the long run, or it did for us. LOL. I started dressing and topknotting Katie Scarlett from day 1. It took her a bit to get used to it, but now she loves it! We have our morning ritual now. You can start out with basic plain bands and simple t-shirts.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Looks like a great list. Nice work! I love to see new Yorkie owners who are prepared. I'd agree with the nutrical suggestion. Make sure your still camera and video camera is charged!

| Thanks!! Im the kinda gal who loves an itinerary so I'll have to write that in..im gonna have a field day with the pictures and video. And they'll be up on YT Quickly I bet :P I think ill also pick up a softer brush than a slicker..to introduce her to grooming easily..something gentle. Is that a good idea?

| oh a new puppy... how exciting! i agree with others as you have compiled a great list! nutri cal should definitely be added as it can be a life saver. make sure you keep it wherever your new puppy goes. also, you might want to look in to a pin brush rather than a slicker brush as a slicker can damage their coats and some can be painful if your pup has a thinner coat. aside from that, looks like your ready to be a new puppy mommy! congratulations on the new bundle of joy!!!

| I like to buy an inexpensive fleece throw and cut it into 4 pieces. Just the right size for our small pups and always a fresh one to put down. Great if the breeder will keep a piece so it has their scent. I didn't have time with Abby but bought it with me and rubbed it on her mom.With Ziva I gave them the dog bed for a few days,she knew it was hers and wouldn't let the other pups near it! |

| Good list, sounds like you are ready. Agree I LOVE seeing a new owner prepare (I did not prepare so well). One thing I would add is time to rearrange your life, it will change for the better when your new baby comes home. You will find that things you wanted to do before are no longer important if you can't involve your little Yorkie.

| One thing I can think of is if you don't know it is to get the address and number of any emergency vets in your area in case you vet is closed during an emergency. I can't tell you how vital this is. I have the emergency vet number and address on my refrigerator and in my cell phone. I know it takes me about 20 - 30 minutes to get the emergency vet from my house. I had to rushed Brandi to the emergency vet twice in the middle of the night. Luckily for me, they were just minor issues but I didn't know that at the time. |
