:wavey:

Adorable! The waiting is the hardest part:D

it really is I get to visit her every Sunday though so that helps still cant wait she was suppose to be a surprise for valentines day but I had found out about her so I get her a week earlier then I was suppose to :)

Shyler, she looks like a shyler to me! lol She is beautiful!

that is a cute name :)

Awww what a sweet little face! Congrats!

Very adorable! I understand how hard it is to wait. I wasn't supposed to get a puppy until later this summer but someone decided not to take home their little girl so she became available. I snagged her quick. I love her and I know you will love yours😀

I am new here too, I will be bringing home two little girls on the 10th any advice would be awesome. I'm getting everything ready at home for them is there anything you guys suggest to have before they come home? :yorkieg: :yorkieg:

Not knowing if these are your first puppies- I don't know how much experience you already have. These are some things that surprised me with my first puppy.
So...just some suggestions from living with Izzie:
1. Crating my Izzie at night was the best thing for my fur-baby. I put in a small alarm clock that ticks, soft blanket and a chew toy. During the day, when she was not being held, played with or right near us, we put her in her ex pen. No, she didn't like it, but she adapted. She is 7 mos. now and was potty trained by six months. She is still crated at night but loose all day now. (she just went on a 5 mi hike with me the other day, she is fine, I on the other hand am not!!)
2. Make sure you have "leaving plans". Where does the dog go when you have to be away from them? How long are you needing to be away? If you work, who will take the puppies out during the day? If you need to board them-then you will have to research, you will need a vet, have all shots caught up and sometimes even fixed. They might need to interview the dog--well, the point is--it all takes time so plan ahead.
3. Do you want to take your dog(s) with you in the car? I have a small dog and strapped a small clothes basket in the passenger seat, put in a big pillow and "voile" instant car seat. She loves to look out when traveling.
4. What do you do with dogs when they are with you in the car and you need to stop in a store to get milk and bread that is desperately needed, but it is 20 degrees outside?
a. Leave them in the car and run in and out quickly?
b. Not take them in the first place?
c. Make sure someone is with them in the car and leave car running?
d. Bring them in the store with you?
5. Make sure wherever you go you have a bottle of water a some type of bowl.

All of these are situations I did not plan for, so we are learning together, my little Izzie and I.

the only question I really have is about is grooming. do you use reg puppy shampoo? and when do you start using bows and how often do you take them to the groomer? my fur babies I have now have short hair but id like for this one to have longer hair

Boy, I sure wish I had known about the groomer in advance!! At 5 months Izzie was terrified!! In preparation for the groomer wish I had:
1. Brushed puppy everyday.
2. Pretend to cut hair with scissors. Open and close the scissors around the puppies body to let them hear the sound to get used to it.
3. Put scissors near eyes (carefully!!!) and open and close them.
4. Grasp the fur under chin and hold while cooing sweetly and/or treat.

Bows, barrettes and baubles for puppies. Cute, but too distracting. My girl is a tomboy. They don't stay on.
Shampoo, from petsmart, something light, I worry about allergies (so far so good).

Make sure you line up a good vet. Instead of bows, I paid for shots and the examination.

I have a vet I've used for about 10 yrs now. I was planning on taking the pup for a check up when I get her just to make sure everything is fine.
