Any last minute advice? Picking up Eloise on Sunday

[Vikinggirl]

You got lots of great advice from everybody, and good ideas, so all I'm going to add is Congratulations on your new baby Eloise, you must be so excited. Enjoy her, and share all your stories and pictures with us as she grows. I have 2 EB's they are brother and sister, and their names are Bulldozer and Blossom, they were a year old on Feb 22/2013, I can't believe how fast they grew, so take lots of pictures, and enjoy her. You'll learn a lot on this site, and you can always ask anyone a question, and someone will always have some experience or advice for you. Good luck.

I know I got tagged on this but looks like I got here a bit late!!! I can't add anymore to what you have already been told!!! My hubby and daughter drove from OH to AZ to pick up Linus for me .. and drove back again with him! They said he used the pee pads in the hotels they stayed in, they stopped whenever he woke up to let him out but apart from that he pretty much slept the entire journey!!

Can't wait to see your pics on Sunday!!!! How exciting!!!!!!

When I picked up Zeus a year ago at 8 weeks old, we boarded a plane for a 2 1/2 hr flight. The flight attendants took him out of his carrier so they could love on him and then he did not want to get back in. I held him in my lap with his blanket until we landed in Dallas. When we got there, we had a 2 hour layover. I took him in the restroom in the Admiral Club and put the puppy pad down and he used it immediately. Then I kept him in my arms until we boarded the next flight and he slept for the next 1 1/2 hours. I fed him ice on both of the flights and gave him a few bites of his food and he slept the rest of the time. He never barked or seemed anxious. I hope your travel goes as well as ours. I also flew and picked up my granddog and he was about the same, but he was 4 weeks older. His carrier was much heavier, I must say. If he had been much older, he would not have been able to fly in the cabin. We barely made it, but he was well worth my back pain as I carried him through the airport! Ha!

congratulations, looking forward to your reports and pictures. If this is your first bully then welcome to the bulldog world. Ours was about an hour and a half drive from the kennel to our home. Ace stayed in my lap or on with his head on my shoulder the entire way. When we got home he followed me wherever I went and of course my son came right over to see him and my daughter the next day. It was night time when we brought him home. On the trip home my wife Sherri took pictures and sent to our kids. For the first week he was by my side constantly and would follow me every where and every move I made. I took him out every two hours to potty for the first week to ten days. It was a wonderful bonding experience. This experience for you will be very memorable and cherished

Well we made it safe and sound. She is so sweet and sassy lol She isn't afraid to tell you how she feels lol
She was so good during her 12 hour car ride lol But she did pee on the seat. I didn't get much sleep, as I said before, she isn't afraid to tell you how she feels, and she feels as though she isn't a crate dog lol When we got home I gave her a bone, and she grabs it in her mouth and starts strutting lol
I will post pics later, miss sassy pants is goin outside lol

 

[kazzy220]

Oh how wonderful. I need to go and look for those pics now!!!!

How wonderful and exciting. She did great even with a pee on the seat. You won't get much sleep for the next few months. Puppies are just like having a baby for the first 6 months or so, so I found out after having 3 of them back to back. Patience will be your virtue. Congratulations!

She also is not fond of the snow So I'm sure you all can guess how potty training is going so far haha
