So Excited ... Bit of a whirl wind! ,...

Well I posted yesterday for peoples opinions, and well a few weeks ago i saw an add in the local PO for two remaining lab pups i left it as still wasnt sure ...
anyway last night i rang them and they had a Male pup left ... aparently a young couple had taken the girl pup three weeks earlier but then decided to take the male pup also ...
a few days ago and it was bedlam the female had made the house her home (and rightly so) so wasnt to accepting of the male very hyper wouldnt let him rest etc so last night he was returned to his breeder ..........
Anyway i went round to have a look last night and he was gorgeous! 11 weeks old almost housebroken, calm layed back and been brought up around 5 other dogs and 5 kids so a hustle and bustle houshold! just like mine! (well with the kids) .....

Anyway where having him! .... we pick him up this evening and i will add a photo later xxxxxxxxx

Ive got to go and get some essentials before we pick him up so wondered if you could give a few MUST have items .... i think ive written everything down but one can never tell xxx
Hoping to be a thinner me in 2010!

    OOOOoooo new puppy :T

    Bed
    Feeding bowls
    Collar, lead etc
    Whatever food he's used to
    If he's not totally house trained then Piddle Pads or some such
    Register him at the vets

    Well, my mind's gone blank after that :o. Someone is bound to come along and point out something obvious.

    Insurance!!!!!! (how could I forget that :doh:)

    Good luck :D

    hi well done i love labs have three myself lab pups do have a habit of chewing so move everything also think of getting rid of your coffee table if you have one as with there tails they will wipe it clean for you .would also recommand getting microchip if not already as there are more and more story of dogs being stolen also worming and injection to sort.
    have fun and enjoy they are wonderful

    Get you and your puppy registered in a training and socialisation class - go along and watch one first so you can check you are happy with it - there shouldnt' be any shouting or yelling, just calm relaxed happy people and puppies.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    Awwwww bless he is gorgeous!! I'm so jealous, I'm allergic to cats and dogs so we can't have one :( although I don't seem to have any reaction to my neighbours Westie and I did hear that there were some breeds that don't cause allergies so you never know.

    If you work out how to put pics up (I don't know either!) stick some more up so we can see a big pic of him, he's beautiful :)
