Have crate, big box for the first couple of nights, kongs, chew toys, vet bed, grooming brush. Puppy pads just in case (never used them with our Chi). Puppy treats and big feeding bowls.
We are able to block the kitchen off from the rest of the house if we need to pop out and he REALLY hates the crate. Kids have been warned that if anything’s left out and gets chewed that’s on them (they are teens and 7yo so old enough to be responsible).
Still not sure how ddog1 will be, she’s a chi x and can be v dismissive of other dogs. But will keep them separate other than introductions and then gradually build up. Cat will likely ignore puppy.
Is there anything else you think I’ve missed or haven’t considered? I’m so so excited, probs more than the kids and want to get this right.
