Do you think I have enough...?

Lexi just packed a bag and ran out the door...she may be headed your way! :lol:

It looks like a lot, but trust me, in no time you'll be saying "oh we need more of these! Or something more like this!"
 
hmm, and which pile of that stuff belongs to Cadburry?

He was munching into his pile which included pigs ears and serrano ham treats for clicker training (sound posh, but they only cost a £1:lol:)

Might consider an X-pen to use as a puppy play pen (provides a safe Zone) if you don't have one already.

I have a stairgate across the kitchen, which is a tiled area and puppy proof. So the plan is puppy can go in there when he or Cadbury needs a break. I also have the biggish crate for him to sleep in, or to just pop in when I need to go out. The x-pen is a good idea, I just don't have anywhere to put it, so I make do with the kitchen.

If those are the small kong tennis balls, be careful with Cadbury. Larger dogs can choke on them.

Don't worry, I already thought of that. I will only get the small balls out when I play with Merlin 1-2-1, then they will be put away in the toy box which has a secure lid Cadbury can't get into. :smile2:

Yep, I need to discover pup's preferences. I'm sure there will be many more trips to the pet shop:lol:
 
If he is like Sca wait until he ignores half of that and then says the most fun is a box :lol:

Hopefully Merlin does not do the super size thing though, I went through three carries with the monster Sca :eek2:
 
Reminds me of my haul just before I got Dylan! Such fun spending money on one's dogs. Good choice with the Kong - they're an excellent way to occupy dogs and focus puppy chewing.

One piece of advice (others may disagree, including you, so feel free to ignore): I would use the puppy pads as little as you can, as they suggest to the dogs that going inside is permissable, and it probably takes them longer to become properly house trained as a result.
 
I think you will need a new bed. But looks like you have really had fun buying for Merlin. He will go through that stash in no time. I would wait till he is home for a few days with adding new items.
I agree with Matt on the puppy pads, to me it just trains them to go indoors.
How are you doing? Are you sleeping much?
 
That is toooo funny, Sophie! And yes, of course you need more! Merlin will be the first to tell you that, starting with boxes and boxes of treats. :yes:

Seriously, I agree that an x-pen is a great idea. And perhaps an open-sided crate, like the ones that are metal so he can see all around and get lots of air. The closed ones are good for travel and sleeping, but I like the open ones for in the house. They also stand up well to puppy teeth.

You'll need to take two pictures to fit the rest of the haul in! :lol:
 
Puppy shopping - ahh Heaven:biggrin2:

(Just watch Cadbury with the puppy chew bones as well as the tennis balls. Revel got hold of one of Yogi's puppy ones and nearly ate it in half an hour. Being a sheltie he chewed it up pretty well but a bigger dog could bite off some chunks.)

A seriously good haul for Merlin there:biggrin2:
3 more sleeps to go...:sleepy::winkgrin:
