Here's the memoirs documenting my journey through dog ownership. It's definitely not for everyone - heck, I don't even know if it's for me, but I'll take you through the ride and it's trials and tribulations. Meet me... and my Hero.

Preparing for the Puppy aka Shopping -- WHEE!

ACK - it's two days before I'm heading to the breeder in Bancroft to pick up my little Hero and I have absolutely nothing ready for his arrival yet. Heck, I don't even know what to buy, but I'm sure it's going to be a lot of things and it's going to add up fast.

I've done some research and here's my shopping list:
  • Puppy food and training treats
  • Chew toys (soft stuffed toys and teething toys)
  • Blankets and towels
    (will be rubbed against his mom & siblings to capture their scent)
  • Wire crate for travel and sleeping
  • Doggy bed / play pen
  • Puppy training pee pads
  • Food and water bowls with holder
  • Dog collar with ID tag
  • Leashes (short pull and retractable)
  • Grooming tools (brush, comb and nail clippers)
  • Stain / odour neutralizer spray
I'm sure I'm missing something, so I'll need some help. PetSMART, here I come!
