Yup, it's going to be hard to sleep tonight!

By the way, have you by any chance made a countdown clock to when you're bringing home Caoimhe? It's a fun way to watch the seconds tick by, although when I made one it got a little annoying because time is really slow, but there's only 3,612,460 seconds to go! xD

Edit: Oh I just noticed that the white fur on Caoimhe's head looks a bit like a thunderbolt, pretty cool!

Haha yes! I made one as soon as I knew which pup I was getting! 13 days, 15 hours bounce I also made one to count how old she is.

I love her little white streak, cannot wait for puppy snuggles tomorrow

13 days? In a way that's worse than 41, I have no idea on how you're going to be able to sleep at night. (It's like trying to sleep on Christmas eve, 2 weeks of Christmas eves D: )

Sorry to keep chiming in haha - the thing that really helped me when waiting for Yuki was picking up extra toys and leashes/collars and things she would need before she got home. Just wasting time at the pet store for a couple hours, and also searching for pet stores near you. Like I prefer Pet Supplies Plus over PetCo (and PetCo over PetSmart) but I like going to a variety to see what they have and look at sale/clearance items too. To kill some time, maybe make a check list (again if you already made one). Some things some people don't think of are poo bag holders for when on walks, poo bags, carpet cleaner so you can clean a mess right away. Maybe also getting a photo album or scrapbook if you're into that and starting early by decorating and then when they come home printing pictures as you take them so you don't end up like me with 4,000+ pictures of your dogs and no albums or pictures printed yet haha.

Chime in all you want Megan! I have been going to pet stores at least once a week lol. I'm slightly obsessed. I think I've been to every place that sells pet supplies in a 20 mile radius of me. I definitely prefer the smaller, independently owned stores vs Petsmart and Petco. Got all the things you mentioned. Looking for a photo album tomorrow. Oddly enough, I'm having a hard time finding bowls I like that don't cost $20 a piece. Weird right? I've even been checking out and sitting in on training classes and doggy day cares as she will be going once a week while we are both working.

Any other suggestions pleassssse throw them out. I've scheduled her vet appointment. Any other 1st week things? I'm loaded up on chews and treats, tons of toys. A few leashes/harness/collars. Got some different types of food.

Chewy.com has some really cute stainless steel bowls by 'Loving Pets'. I was actually about to buy a set of 3 last night and right when I went to check out they told me one of the bowls was temporarily out of stock!! So now I'm waiting for it to become available again sigh.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in my excitement. I have been counting down the seconds, and every Sunday I get so excited knowing the next day there will be new pics up. I've also tried to languish away the days by thinking of what we need and wandering around the pet aisles of every store in the area buying it.

As for bowls, I was lucky enough that several months ago at the MSPCA, where I volunteer, they had a bin of freebies for the volunteers and staff and there were some bowls in there. I snagged two just because I knew eventually I would have a dog that would use them. Razz For blankets and toys, you can also check Goodwill and other thrift shops. One cycle in the laundry and they're good as new for your pup. Smile

We had a hard time with bowls this time around too. Couldn't really find one we liked so we just settled on one. With Karli, I had gotten her two stainless steel bowls, but the very first day that we got her home, I had to run out and find another food bowl because she wouldn't eat out of it. She could see her reflection in the bowl as she was eating and it scared her so bad she wouldn't eat out of the bowl. The dollar store had ceramic ones for $1 (of course lol) so I got her that and she loves it. So I got a ceramic one for Evee as well. I'm loving all the puppy pictures!!!

OMG Roxy that is so sad/ funny about Karli lol! I like ceramic ones but all the ones I like are expensive. Haven't checked $1 store though! When are you getting your new pup?

Picking her up on Saturday after tough mudder...a yellow lab female. Husky was my hubby's breed of choice and lab was mine. We went with the husky first (I had no idea he would ever agree to a second dog to be honest and I just really needed a dog) which I'm actually glad we did because Karli has trained up really well. I'm excited to see how my girls interact with each other. I managed to get the biggest female in the litter, go figure!

Karli was also afraid of her reflection in the entertainment center. The things puppies can be scared of lol. I can't wait to see your babies grow up!

I got a bunch of good things at random stores. Tjmaxx/Marshall's does have a lot of good things toys, treats, bowls etc. I found a lot of stuff at ocean state job lot too, it's where I got both of my elevated bowls, obv a little too early for elevated stuff for her at 8 weeks. IM not a huge fan of the big chain stores either, there's a smaller sort of chain down here "especially for pets" which has good stuff. Sorry I'm not more help because I don't know what's up your way.
Things to have the first week. Pee pads if you're gonna go that route for potty training, collars (make sure you get a smaller collar, I bought one that I thought would fit but it was way too big!), kibble depending on if you're going to change the diet (May not have the same food available that Rachel feeds), chew toys!
I'm so jealous of everyone getting puppies!!!

I LOVE Job Lot! I was just there today stocking up on a dog bed, among other pet-related items. It's by far my favorite store ever.

EDIT: For the food that Rachel feeds, if you didn't know already, go to Tractor Supply. She feeds an all-life-stages food for puppies called Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. There's a Tractor Supply relatively close to you, Cortnie, in Sanford.

In my town there's a big warehouse store called PetEdge. It's mostly for groomers and businesses but it has a small retail area where you can get pretty much everything for your pet except food (though they do stock treats). It's very reasonably priced, too. I have a feeling that'll be my new go-to place outside of Job Lot.

Heh that's interesting, I was thinking about maybe going with TOTW but that Extreme Athlete food seems to be rated highly too. Maybe there wont be a need to change up the food if they do well on it since both of them are from Diamond anyways. xD

I am not a fan of the TJMaxx/ Marshall's stores really. I have been in and gotten a bed and couple things but they're so ghetto here lol. I didn't know there was a tractor supply in Sanford. There's one closer to me in Scarborough. I'm going to switch her on to something else though. Rachel says she gives you a small bag to transition her! I got her a small sized lupine collar to start. Do you think that will fit?

I would say small sized lupine will fit! I just remember picking Kaia up and saying wow I seriously underestimated how small she'd be lol. And tj/Marshall's/ocean state are All hit or miss stores, sometimes you can hit the mother load and other times I've left disappointed lol!! I have ordered stuff from the pet edge catalog it's pretty cheap...I didn't know there was a store tho!

My friends just switched to the diamond althete bag for their adults and feed their new puppies the puppy formula and everyone is doing well on it, it's cheap too!
