Well he would be less scared if he felt secure- and a crate will do that if you make it comfy. A pet taxi is nice because it is closed on all sides but the front. So you could see him and he could see you..
See, when we bought curly it was at a pet store right around the corner from our house. But this is a 2 and a half hour ride. So it's going to be pretty tough considering he isn't potty trained. lol
Well if he feels safe and secure in " a little den" he will go to sleep for most of it..
I'm sure eveything will be ok on the ride back, but a nice soft towel might help. :)
yea. I made this HUGE pillow for curly but he never used it so I'll put that in there. He also might be sleeping in my room because curly already sleeps w/ my parents so I might just use the pillow as extra cushioning for him.
I heard if you put a warm towel and a clock with him it mimicks the sound and feeling of his mother. Should I do that also or no?
I've never heard of a clock, but I have heard of having a baby listen to the sounds of the womb to make it sleep, so it might work. Give it a try, and if it works it works. :)
No a clock is irratating if they are use to it. You will have heat in your car. I would not worry about that.
I take a k-mart towel bath size that is fluffy. Cut in half, then the second half cut again. Put the larger pieces in the bottom, with a second half on it. If the pup gets sick it soaks it up, and taking off the top towel solves the problem of it being wet. I have like 3 sets of these. Old kitchen towels work too.
I am sure he will be fine after the first few minutes cry- or stop and go to sleep.lol... Galina never said a word, Zubin HOWLED for 10 minutes then slept.. lol.. Femka was silent but she is an adult.
yeah ok. I'm just now getting nervous.... :eek: :eek: :eek:
YOU AND YOUR BABY will be just fine!!!
don't worry everything will go alright! :)
ok change of plans we'll be leaving around 9:00 am instead. :eek: 4 DAYS My dad said he'll be sleeping in their room since it's my mom's pup. :( :( :(
May as well sleep in a little- its going to be a long, busy but wonderful day!
sorry the pup can't be in your room, but at least you can see him everyday, just not at night. :)
True besides I already have a cat that sleeps on my face lol I woke up this morning with fur on my mouth!!!!!! :p
lol!!!!!!!! my cat likes to do that to! :pQuote:

I remember the feeling well! I'm so excited for you!!! *Jumps up and down*
ok thanks I'm too excited now and it's only monday!!! :eek: This week will go by ever so slowly!!!
but who is counting.. :D
:eek: :D :) 3 DAYS!!!! EEEEEEK!!! :eek: :D :) :eek: :D :)
I can't wait to see the post the day you get him.....lololol.
LOL!!! I probably won't be on the day we get him. We'll be gone for at least 6-7 hours. The location is 2 and a half hours away and we get to go check out the grounds, shes going to give us instructions on care for him, and it'll mostly be chit chat about him and his litter and her previous pups that she has sold. :D SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats okay honey- we know you will go "POOF" for a few days when he comes.. After this long wait, we just need to keep you calm to wait on the time to show up. Just remember he will be tired his first day when he gets home.. Thats a long day for a puppy, but totally do able. Got a camera phone set up? BTW- he " told me" ( lol..) he wants a pretty blue collar- lol... Go take a look at collars.. lol.. Give you something to do. lol.
I can't look at collars. :( My mom's home and she would find out if we came back with a collar and a bunch of toys that aren't for curly. lol
ohhhh ( smacks head) of course- I forgot about that one.. lol.
yeah shoot!!! When she leaves I'll get the pet taxi all washed up and ready to go and hide it somewhere. That'll keep me occupied!!! lol
Should I put a toy in the pet taxi with him??? I made this toy for Curly where you stuff an old sock with 5 other old socks and you tie a knot at the top and when you rip it open he has 5 other socks to play with. should I make him one of those???
That sounds good! Knotted socks are always a favorite of puppies. Its great on those gums..
I think curly needs a new one! lol theres a bunch of holes on the "tail" of the sock ball. lol
So other than getting him home there really is nothing to worry about??? :eek:
Nothing at all.. lol.. Let him meet curly away from the house- but you know all that..
no theres nothing else to worry about, just make sure he gets plenty of rest! :)
ok. What about Curly what if hes all over him trying to figure out whats going on and he keeps the baby up???
well if curley doesn't seem to lose intrest after a while than maybe you could separate them for a while just while the little one sleeps. :)
honey sleep happens.. lol.. YOu will see what I mean. like this first one of Zubin his first night at home.. ( do not giggle at how small he was.. lol.. he was only 16 weeks.)
Because the way our house is set up he would have to go upstairs unless we put the puppy upstairs to sleep and keep Curly downstairs. That would work. Ok still freaking out but I'll be fine. lol First really young puppy when we got curly he was four months old. This one is 12-14 weeks.
don't worry everything will be fine! :D
I hope so. We still need to get him some Nylabones. :eek: When curly was a puppy we have these ottomans that had wood on the bottom to keep them stable. Curly started chewing on them and now they're practially falling over!!! lol
thats another thing, make sure you have plenty of chewing stuff! or else he might chew furniture! :)
