Don't forget... to charge the batteries for the camera - we want loads of pics

Oh God! I can't believe I actually forgot a tag!!!!
Off to order one now! You see I knew this thread was a good idea!
(I've already got a house line and a long line!)

ah yes...ran my batteries down taking pics of Bella on her walk on Sunday...must go get them charged!

best advice EVAR!!
and wine. I agree wholeheartedly with that!! Also super excited here, we have just under 4 weeks to go until we get Nala. We'll be able to share our puppy horror stories!

Camera charged for all the photos.

You know puppies don't stay small for long and any testing times will be short lived so just be ready to capture the beautiful little darling to share with us xx

Sorry didn't read through the whole thread, just noticed someone has already told you to do it!!

You will not need matchsticks for your eyes - Ive had my puppy for 2 weeks (he's 11 weeks now) and he is sleeping in a crate. He loves it - he takes himself off to bed at 9.30 and I wake him up at 7!

Well ain't you the lucky one, I definitely needed matchsticks for my eyes because although my pup was sleeping in a crate she barked at 2.30 am and 5.00 am to ask to go out. A pup sleeping from 9.30 till 7 really isn't that common tbh. mine is now 20 weeks and dropped the 2.30 am wake up call about 4 weeks back but is still waking me up at 5.00 am every day to go to the loo.

I wouldn't worry too much about fancy or expensive things, they will either be outgrown, destroyed or eaten quicker then you can blink! Good luck!

thanks all.
Yes, nothing I've bought is fancy or expensive - have gone for basic but comfy beds etc... as I expect they will be destroyed or outgrown very quickly!
It would be lovely to think that he would sleep from 9.30 till 7.00, but I'm not expecting anything that lucky!(heck that's even longer than some of my kids sleep!) Luckily (or not!) I have had about 15 years of intermittent sleep deprivation so hopefully I will survive another bit...off to check I have a good supply of coffee in the cupboard
4 more sleeps...three more days....
