For Those Picking Up Puppies this Weekend

For those picking up puppies this weekend, there's a few things you need to bring with you.

- A puppy holder - the puppy needs to ride on someone's lap on the way home. Do not stick him/her in a box in the back where he is terrified even more that he needs be.

- A blanket - this is to rub on Cruz so that the puppy has a familiar smell to cuddle up with. This can be put in the crate that will be beside your bed. But be careful. If he starts to chew the blanket, take it out.

- Clean up bag - Your puppy will get sick on the way home. All puppies do so come prepared. The only good thing about it is that they give you warning before they do. They will start to drool profusely! Then YARK!

- Do not come early - I know it's exciting for you but I have back to back to back appointments and if you come early you will have to sit in your car and wait.

- Be patient - there is a ton of papers to fill out and a ton of things to talk about. Try and read through the book I gave you so if you have any questions, they can be answered. Young children will be bored so please leave them at home.

- You must have 3 names picked out for your puppy. This is for the CKC registration papers. This is in case your name has been used before, they will go to the next or the next if necessary. The register name does not have to be the same as the call name. I had a stud dog named Diesel and his registered name was Marcellus' I Am Canadian because he was born on July 1. All pups from that litter had a Canadian based name.

That's it for now! See you all soon!
