I'm getting a chihuahua this Summer! Help me with the supplies!

[twilight]

yep! Her name will be Willow, and i need some help to make sure i have everything i need! NOTE: I have 2 other dogs, just felt the need to add it...
So far, i have:
1: A food bowl
2: A water bowl
3: A blanket and pillow
4: A kennel
5: A leash
6: 2 harnesses of different sizes(we tried to walk my obese cat before... he didn't fit...)
7: 1 toy(so far)


I know ill need a collar, toys, and food, so don't suggest those, please! Please suggest anything you think i need!

When the time comes, a name!!! Also a big thing you need is time and patience. Hope that helps.

Congratulations on your future chihuahua! Two things I can think of - do you have a veterinarian/veterinary clinic picked out, and what sort of training are you planning to do with her? It might be worthwhile to start looking up dog training methods and resources so you'll be prepared when the time comes.

I recently got a new puppy and for sure you will probably need '*** pads' if it isn't already trained. My new puppy just loves to chew on socks too. Also I suggest taking any cords or wires off of groud level, my puppy chewed through my phone charger.

oooh, thanks! id never replace my charger! and, my little pup will go outside, and i have to train it, so i may need yall's help for that, too! my mom goes to this local vet clinic, so im sure we'll go there!

I don't have a dog yet but I am getting one in about a week. (which I made a thread which i think u posted on)

That's all the things I have so I won't be any help!

But congratz!! And good luck!

[twilight]

ooh, yep, i posted there! the Australian Shepherd dog, right? lol, i made the blanket myself, and it was a little small for my other little dog, so it's Willow's now!

[webkinzgrl106]

Yup that's me!!

A chihuahua is a very small dog with a delicate neck so you will want to get a harness instead of a collar. It will save him/her a lot of hangings. I have a little min pin and the vet told us to never put her on a leash. The harness puts the force of the leash on its shoulders not it's neck. I know you need toys but make sure you get your puppy something to chew on because they need to chew like babies do when their teeth come in. They sell special things at the pet store. Trust me this will save you a lot of money in woodwork. I said my dog was like a beaver. She even chewed through the leg of the sofa.

ooh, good idea with the harness!i have a few, for my cat(which they never fit, he was, well, in nice terms, too big)
