Hey Friends!
Brad and I just bought a new home. We are wondering if you have any tips for introducing our favorite squishy baby to his new space??

Awesome.... congrats and best of luck!

What we did with Banks was came to the house the night before we moved in, it was all empty and then just let her roam around with some of her toys. We watched her close and just let her run around getting to sniff every crack and corner

Hi Liz, congratulations. How exciting. You will have to post some pics of your new house. When do you move?
I agree with Christine, we did the same thing, we picked up the keys from the lawyer, the day before our move, and that
evening we brought all the pets to the new house, settled them in, let the dogs and the cat explore, and my friend and I slept at the new house. Good luck.

Congratulations, and best for you in your new home! I remember how exciting it was to buy a new home and move in(well not the truck loading so much...)Just bring Bo with you when you go after closing! My critters never minded, as long as they were with us!

Congrats on your new home!

I have no idea how to get them used to it. I know Blue is usually scared to death of any place new.

Martha Stewart said when moving into a new home to allow the pet to urinate just a bit in each room so there is a familiar scent in the entire house. From that point on they will always feel at home.

We have moved a couple times with our bullies and they have always done fine with the new place. The last house we moved into had hardwood flooring and BeBe didn't like it at first, but got used to it after a few weeks. They are happy just to be with us where ever we go.

Omg!!! I read this and was like no freaking way!!!! Sorry it took so long for me to get back and give an update!! We moved on the 6th and have just been crazy busy, as you can imagine! Bo has been doing good. No accidents, which is what I was worried about :) he is usually a big scaredy cat and his staying true to that. He will not go down the basement stairs. He is ok with the other two sets of outside ones. In fact, he cries of the basement door is opened, lol. https://vimeo.com/119504165
