Are you crate training? If so, no, just the tray the crate came w/. If you're doing a hybrid approach, then 'it depends'.

Amazon has a bunch of different sized crates from Midwest that work well and decently priced. Kong makes a good one as well. Your local pet stores (eg PetCo) sell crates, too.

Lol, looks like she's got some soulful eyes...that's going to be challenging eating a meal without giving her any if so. Good luck and enjoy - the ups are definitely more than the downs! Way way more ups.

Reminds me of the old SNL skit for "Puppy Uppers" & "Doggie Downers", drugs for dogs!

Terrible shave job by the vet in preparation for Bella's ultrasound. I'm sure she was fighting them every step of the way!

2 new fish today, I traded in the venustus and the strawberry Peacock for a yellow leluepi and gold sexfasciatus

kscarrol · 01-25-2021, 06:53 PM

I will totally display my ignorance but you can trade in fish for newer models? How bad is the depreciation hit?

Oh you’ll be “up“ plenty for pee pee (hopefully just pee pee) emergencies early on, but worth it.

Keep in mind... I have 2 children, 15 and 12 who will be assisting with the various responsibilities that come with a new Puppy.

Yes, but then the first week will end...

My son said he would also take the dog out at 3am, and well... he somewhat kept up with the promise. The problem was, he was such a heavy sleeper that he couldn't hear the dog crying, so I'd get out of bed at 3am just to wake him up to take the dog out!

In the end it was all worth it, and Finn luckily potty trained really fast, Good thing TXSTYLE is in nice and warm Texas. When we got Finn as a puppy it was the end of winter and freezing cold in Maryland!

Also TX, make sure to socialize the puppy well. A lot of these Covid puppies are very sensitive and have separation anxiety and are reactive to other dogs/people.

Our first puppy in 18 years. Our last one was a German Shepherd. We went a little smaller with a whole lot less shedding this time.

What breed is the lil guy?

Sara · 01-26-2021, 04:24 PM

My girl turns 30 this April!! What a ride it's been. 22 years of being her owner, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present in 1999. So lucky that my 6 yr old daughter loves her just as much as I do.
