1 week to go!

[Kai Doodle (Kathy & Keith)]

This time next week Kai will be home. :-) Everything and then some is ready for him, at least we think so. Toys, leash, dishes, bed even a car harness (thanks Marley, Kelly & Cole for that) and my favorite thing of all a front pack of sorts for a puppy. I walk everyday between 4-7 miles and this will allow me to take him with me. :-) We were very concerned that someone might let him out when they read the utility meters, so much so that we had a second gate installed that will have a lock on it. It's good we are busy with the move. If all I was doing was sitting around waiting for him to arrive I'd make myself and everyone else nuts! Between now and next Friday we will organize to minimize what is laying around for him to get a hold of.
What are we missing?

The mat is from Oh My Dog Supplies. http://www.ohmydogsupplies.com/dog-products/ultramat-placemat.html

We also have a very cute personalized cookie jar (not pictured) for him from there. http://www.ohmydogsupplies.com/dog-products/retro-swirl-jar.html

Paint roller, yes thanks. I had that on my list when you mentioned it before. We will be at Home Depot this weekend. I will look into the feeder, thanks so much for the heads up on that!

I have to know-where did you get that personalized mat??? I have to have one. Also, please check out the forum on elevated feeding bowls-I was all set to get one and after posting this question, I learned fast from DK members about the dangers of "bloat". Using elevated feeding bowls-in a study (I think it was Purdue vet school) increases the risk of bloat by 110%. I sarted looking on the internet and all of the studies back this up. I just want you to be aware of this as others here pointed this out to me. Hey-I don't see a paint roller in that basket-he will love one. Let me know about the mat and GOOD LUCK
