Calm before the storm

So we bought a puppy.

Im not sure how or why we did it but in a couple of days time, Sunday to be precise we have a chocolate Labrador retriever coming to share our life
Over the past few weeks we have gotten to know Milo and have been waiting until he is 8 weeks old before we wrench him away from his litter mates and mother, Hopefully he will learn a little bite inhibition from them and being 8 weeks he should be ready for the big wide world and an adventure.

We have booked him in for injections and micro-chipping so it seems we intend to not only take him away from all he knows and make him sleep alone in a strange place but the very next day we will take him for an exciting ride to someone he has never met before who will stab him, Im sure he will be really happy to have come to live with us.
After researching and looking at different places and prices for the injections we eventually settled for a good local vet that costs a little more but at least we will get to know them for any future visits.

Of course with any new addition to the family we have now purchased lots of toys, Training treats, Food, Bowls, Lead, Collar and tag, Bedding etc the list does go on a bit and wow what a confusing choice on everything you "need" and on things you dont.

Overall im sure we will find out what we do and don't need as we continue our journey !
