Tomorrow is the big day

I got asked if I could pick my puppy up on Wednesday instead of Friday. We have everything we need ready waiting so tomorrow is the big day. I will let everyone here know how the little guy settles in. I'm so excited

Just telling the kids any toys etc left on the floor will be fair game haha

Not only toys - it's a good idea to get right down on the floor and see what else might be tempting, especially things like electrical cables. Everything is fascinating and fair game to a puppy. As you'll find out...

Funny you should say that. The other day we were crawling around looking for possible hazards

... and he'll still find stuff you hadn't even thought about!

I don't know why I'm laughing, it can be really frustrating when you find another shoe shredded but that's part of puppy ownership.

How very exciting. No matter how well we think we have cleaned Gus will always manage to find something he shouldn't have

Bet you can't wait

Yay! last sleep for you So exciting, your life will now change for the better

Best of luck tomorrow.You will love it.

Thanks everyone. I just can't wait, once the drive home is over I'm going to relax and enjoy his puppy hood as he will be a grown boy in no time.

Todays the Day!!!!! bet you are soooooo excited

Did you sleep last night?

I did surprisingly get some sleep lol. I'm so excited, just a little worried about puppy on 2 hour drive. I hope he won't be too frightened

We left a blanket in his bed so maybe his mummies smell will comfort him along with cuddles

That's the little guy home. He travelled ok but was sick a few times. He had a little play with Saxon & is sleeping now. Kids have stuck with the name Rebel. He hasn't been interested in food yet

Yay! Welcome home, Rebel.

He's ate & drank now. He is fascinated with my cats

Fantastic. I bet you are so relieved to have Rebel home.

Great news... Welcome to the forum Rebel

We are starting as we mean to go on, up on sofas & beds lol. Yes I'm really relieved as I was worried about the car ride. Rebel is scared being in the garden but happy inside

It's a big world out there for a tiny Staffy ya know I'm sure he will be out there jumping around in the sun before you know it Laura

I'm sure he will. He can pee inside for now until he gets used to the garden. Saxon is being a star as usual

Now don't forget we love pics here Laura

so pleased Rebel is home safe and sound,looks like he's made himself at home 

He does seem very at home which is great

Well Hello Rebel good to meet you at last He's a real cutie

Thank you. He is very cute

Rebel looks adorable, he'll soon be running riot in your garden one of ours wouldn't venture onto the garden for nearly a week. He loves the garden now and loves "playtime" at the Dog Barn in St. Helens he was happily running riot around the field with 30 other dogs this morning along with his brother. The pair of them have been comatosed since we brought them home.

Thank you, I'm just over the moon, he is so cute. Oh really, I guess it's common when pups haven't been outside. I've just put pads down & will try garden 2moro. No hurry as Rebel is very young & only first day

Sounds like your lovely boys had a fantastic day today

They certainly did they absolutely love going the Dog Barn a couple of times a week, the playtime sessions are two hours long, normally 20 to 30 dogs and owners turn up, they have 6 members of staff making sure all the dogs play nice and all for just £2 per dog. Having said that they are back to their normal little bundles of energy this morning.

We don't have anything like that here, but there is lots of lovely walks. Most people are good at asking if dogs can play so they get to socialise

I think places like that are few and far between. The parks near me that I walk the dogs in are a bit hit and miss, one day you can meet lots of responsible dog owners and have a great time, the next day you can bump into a quite a few irresponsible ones and the walk isn't quite as enjoyable.

I know what you mean. We have a big country estate with lead free areas with an agility field. Slot of people in this small town can be anti bull breed but I have some staffy loving friends. One friend fosters for a staffy rescue

The excitement of walkies!
Try and get him used to skateboarders and rollerskates if you can. There weren't any when Gizmo was little, and now they've come back into fashion he does NOT approve. Scooters no problem, skateboarders? devil's own, as far as he's concerned.

Quite a few teens go out on skateboards round here, thanks I'll let him see some. My jack Russell hates motorbikes, he is a chilled out wee guy until he sees one

I think it's the low pitch of the sound, Giz hates motorbikes and some lorries, but not others?

And people standing on stepladders/balconies.

It probably is the sound. Lol I guess people up high is a funny concept for dogs
