Insurance

Poo bags .................. oh, and Valium! :D

Bowls for the food and a collar and lead !

Lucy

Rolls of film for the camera!

EARPLUGS!!!!

lots of kitchen roll for the accidents

Robert

But don't flush the kitchen roll!! We did......... :(

Kong!!! Nylabone and a Ragger (I have found these essential to keep our 8 wk pup occupied whilst we eat or to stop him nipping us.)

oh and odorkill - just incase of inevitable accidents lol!

Good Luck :) Roxanne

House Check...Get things off the floor especially toilet cleaners, bleach etc anything that may be mistaken for a play thing. Electrical cables move them out of chewing reach

earplugs,
for the night time howls

Dont forget to puppy proof your garden as well. Garden implements left around, spiky plants ( I bought a roll of garden wire trellis to wrap around any delicate plants I have/had...).

Bitter apple spray to stop him chewing things he shouldnt. Watch out for the soft things you cant hear him cheqing on such as books.

Broadband internet connection for the constant puppy questions on champdog.

Hand cream for those poor teeth marked hands.

Dishwasher cant have those sore hands in hot water. (grin)

Cant you tell I have a pup (15 weeks arrrrghh and growing)

What about lots of old clothes for when they jump up and catch their sharp little teeth in them :D Also useful for all the extra cleaning, gardening, washing etc :)

boots wax muffles earplugs, they are brill when the howling doesn't stop, as i witnessed last night, also puppy nail clippers for the little sharp talons.good luck!!!

oh and bags of patience..

Newspapers!! The best thing since sliced bread when it comes to pups!!

Great for house training...in the crate etc!

Good luck!

Lisa

Vet bed or old towels for bedding; anything easily washable and dryable for that puppy crate!!
