Hi,
I am going to be one big pain in the neck, just warning you all. we are very excited to bring our little murphy in two weeks, but I am so big on being prepared.
so here is my next question (which of course wont be my last..lol)
we are brining murphy home in the car, its about a 2 hour drive. Im sure he will be scared. I am going to bring a towel and get the scent of his mom on it, so he at least can smell her.
once he is home, in his new surrondings, im sure he will be nervous. So I dont want to go all crazy with the 'training' until he settles in (or maybe I should) hey, thats another question, should i?
but here is the main question. I do think Murphy needs a little trimming. Can I just cut his hair around his eyes before bringing him to the groomer? I think too much might make him really nervous.
we still have to bring him to the vet to get his shots.
oh, thats another question. the vet. I dont want him to associate the car with going to the vet. How can I avoid that?
I was thinking of taking him for a ride a few times to fun places like the park.
any ideas.
oh oh oh, before I go. swimming. I heard poodles like to swim. is this true?
if so, at what age should I bring him to the pond? I would love him to enjoy swimming.
ok, thats it for now, ill have a bunch of questions later im sure.:elefant:
