| Have you puppy proofed your home, meaning, are all wires, cables out of her reach. Make sure what you value is not in her reach, other wise it will be in her mouth. Did you buy a tube of Nutri-Cal for just in case she gets Hypoglycemia Did you buy the same food the breeder is feeding her, she should stay on the same food she is use to other wise she will have stomach issues. Are you keeping her in a play pen like an xpen or Iris pen, if not I suggest baby gates to keep her out of rooms when you cannot supervise her. Never leave her alone without supervision. Do not give her free roam of the home until she is 100% pad trained. Did you make an appointment with your vet for 24 / 48 hours vet check up. If not I suggest you make that call now. Make sure the area she will be in has nothing laying on the floor, these puppies are just like human baby's, everything goes in their mouth. Get plenty of sleep tonight so you can keep up with this little bundle of energy you'll soon be bringing home lol.

| Congratulations, that's so exciting! I love the puppy stage My recommendations are: -Schedule her first vet visit. You want to get going on vaccinations (dependent on her age) and make sure she's healthy! -Be consistent. Puppies thrive on consistency. -If you want to kennel train, start now! -Once she has all of her vaccinations, start socialization. Take her on walks, meet other (friendly of course) dogs and humans. These first few months will help shape her for the rest of her life. -Make sure she is not allowed to free roam. She should be within sight at all times or kenneled, penned, or enclosed in a bathroom. Puppies cannot be trusted -Start grooming. Make it a fun time where she gets treats and you brush her... It will make life easier for you down the road. -My pups travel with me and ride in a bag, so I start training early on to make traveling fun and easy. We also use a car seat in the car, so it's good to practice that if you'd like her to do well in the car. Good luck! Puppies can be a challenge, but it is so worth it!

| Have fun! Make sure all her vaccinations are in order and DO NOT TAKE HER ANYWHERE until one week AFTER her last Parvo shot. Simply can't be too careful with these little ones!! |
