Hello all! :wave:
Well, we are less than two weeks away from welcoming our precious little Ivy into our family, and we could not be more excited! :grin2: I have continued to busy myself with puppy-proofing the house, and shopping for those things that she will need once she is finally home. I believe that I have pretty-much everything at this point, though I have yet to select her beds, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. :smile2: I did however, purchase one of the self-warming crate pads.
For those of you who drove to pick up your fur-sweeties, I'd be interested in knowing how you prepared for the ride? For example, what did you choose to transport him/her in? A crate? A portable per carrier? A pet car seat? Or did you take someone else along to hold your pup during the ride home? Did you allow your pup access to water during the ride? (I'm concerned about possible car sickness if I do) Did they ride in the front seat, or the back seat, etc.?
The drive back home from our breeder should only be an hour or so, but I will be going alone, so having someone there to hold Ivy is not an option for me.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have to offer.
