We went and hit 3 pet supply stores today looking for needed items and starting to figure out what food we’re going to (can afford) feed our new dog. We’ll stick with Eukanuba Large Breed for at least one 40lb bag’s worth, as that’s what our breeder has been using. We don’t want to introduce any more shock to her system on top of moving in our house with three kids and a cat. But at some point we’ll probably switch to something a little better quality. High quality food is important in a large breed dog to help promote solid joint, bone and muscle development during their very rapid growth.
We also picked up some bells to hang by the back door for training her to ring the bell when she needs to go out. Braden picked out a chew toy that looks like a monkey and Emma chose a pink Kong.
All in all, we’re getting closer to being ready, but I think the big challenge will be getting the kids to understand that they need their toys picked up, or something is going to get eaten. Of course, the same applies for my shoes and Kathie’s purse!
