I know you guys are crazy (like me), so did any of you have similar shopping lists before you got your dog?
BY THE WAY -- This list is a result of being on THIS website. I would never have bought 1/4 of this stuff if I never found you all!!

Here's Brembo:

Saturday evening cannot come soon enough!!!

 

[LaurenA]

LOL! You look prepared to me... Brembo is going to be one spoiled boy!

 

[cali~jenn]

I would say you got everything. LMFAO When we first got Cutty we stopped by petco on our way home and spoiled him there. I would have way overspent back then had there been an ebn back then. lmao.

 

[Sherry]

oh,oh, don't forget nail trimmers

he's a lucky dog, Good Bully mom

 

[Fontanafox]

What a great homecoming Brambo will have! Makes me wish I was him! Adored and pampered.

 

[bubbaisapig]

Holy cow!! That's some list! I can't say I was that prepared when I got bubba! Gonna be a happy pup!!

 

[Davidh]

I think you are pretty prepared, and he is a very cute boy.

 

[nyerathrt]

holy list!!! i just stopped by petsmart on the way home and bought stuff....then slowly bought over time...with collars and such i had to wait to buy one to see what size to get....toys we bought a few to see what he would like then slowly added as we learned his likes and dislikes...titan loves the ball you put treats in and will play with it all day...jameson hates that ball but loves laser lights...titan hates lights. i bought a dog beg and jameson immediately peed all over it then pulled the stuffing out and shredded it....hahahaha...

 

[RiiSi]

Looks like you're about ready! Lucky you and lucky Brembo too!

 

[ajwhitt44]

LOL thanks for the feedback everyone! ...and the tip regarding nail clippers!

Like I said, this is all YOUR collective fault =).

BTW, I am a Bully DAD, not mom

 

[BruceP]

Oh sure,,,, blame it on us!!!! Our list wasn't nearly that long but that was before we knew about EBN.. LOL This is an amazing bulldog website, not another comes close in knowledge or friendliness. I'm glad you found us even if it was costly to you.

 

[Twice]

Like I said, this is all YOUR collective fault =).

BTW, I am a Bully DAD, not mom

Well DAD!! That was a pretty rude thing to say. But you can make it up to us by posting pictures. Lots and Lots of Pictures :D

I'm kidding by the way... about the rudeness! not the pictures lol I love your list. Wish I'd had half that stuff when I brought Abby home (and I thought I was prepared! )

 

[Libra926]

Yeah we had no EBN, so all of ours was trial and error. Which when you break it down ....was way more expensive. At least you can be assured that you're getting the best stuff the first time around. Also instead of using all those treats, you can simply feed him frozen green beans. Oh and a kiddie pool. You'll want to get 1 of those. Congratulations!!!!

[Bulldoggie371]

Holy Smokes! He's gonna be one spoiled lil Bully! Congrats.

 

[ImAGuinneyPig]

Wow! That's quite the list!

I would however add that you'll need a harness. Bulldogs should be on a leash and harness, NOT a collar. On account of being brachycephalic, collars can be quite dangerous for them.

Also, I'd nix the puppy pads. At 13 weeks he should be learning to go outside. Letting him go on pee pads in the house only serve to prolong house training. It confuses them by thinking they can relieve themselves in the house. It's ok for really young pups who can't yet go outside, but not for a puppy who is being house trained. Just my thoughts

Very excited for you to pick up your boy!!! Can't wait to see some pics of his homecoming!
