Today is the day I get to go to my new family. I am so excited! When you
come to pick me up you may need to bring some things with you.
If it’s a short ride I would probably just rather lay on your lap or beside you so
you may just need a collar and a leash. But make sure I go pee before we get
started.

If it’s going to be a long car ride I will need a crate with newspaper to go potty
on. A garbage bag in case I poop because we won’t want to have to smell it
all the way home. Bring a little water and a bowl to drink out of. Maybe a toy
or bully stick would be nice.

I will be nervous my first day at my new home so please don’t bring a bunch of
people to meet me. I would like to get to know just the people and furry pets
that I will be living with on the first day.

You will need to show me my role in this family. Just because I am only a
puppy don’t let me get away with any bad behaviors. I need to be trained from
day one on how you want me to behave as an adult. Just remember I am
young and will need constant reminders and guidance to make the correct
choices.

I will make mistakes, and so will you. If you leave me unattended and loose on
my own I will make lots of bad choices in the beginning. So just warning you
ahead of time that if you are not there to guide me into the proper behaviors
then the bad behaviors I do during that time will be your fault for leaving me
unattended. Don’t spank me or rub my nose in my potty.

Just to let you know as a pup I will need my beauty sleep. I will usually play
from 20 to 40 minutes then it will be time for more beauty sleep. Please make
sure I am in my crate when I sleep so I don’t wake up and pee on the floor.
As soon as I wake up I will need to go pee. So this is your responsibility to get
me out immediately to my potty spot. There is a pattern that I need you to
follow so that I understand where, when, and how this is to be carried out.
