yay how exciting start a countdown like I did and you'll have somewhere to keep you busy till she arrives :luv: photo's are compulsory ;) what are you getting?
-
Plenty of photos of course :D
I'm getting an 8 week old blue roan girl. She's called Yuki.
Hehe 16hrs to go then :005:
-
Awww how fab :luv: i wish i could do the day we got Alfie all over again, it was ace :luv: xxxx
-
Oh, how exciting!! Waiting with baited breath....
-
Sounds very exciting! Hope everything goes okay tomorrow & dont forget pictures, they are a must! ;) :005:
-
Aww thanks. 12 hours left! How did everyone transport pups home? Is having her sat on my lap in a blanket ok?or should I use a travel box?
-
I took a small box lined with a blanket but Odie sat on my knee all the way (over 2 hours :luv:) and was good as gold. :D

If you have someone with you to drive, then i would sit on the back seat with her. Perhaps take the travel box too, just in case she doesn't settle though. :-\ Most puppies just go to sleep shortly after the car gets moving.
-
We brought our pup home in a soft travel crate - I honestly think it's far safer than a lap, even in the back. If the car had to brake suddenly, and the pup was just on a lap.....well, let's just say that I think the pup could be seriously injured.
How far are you having to travel to get her, HH? Is she on the Island or are you having to get the ferry?
-
Very exciting - bet you'll not be getting much sleep tonight :005: and its a shame, you really need a good one before tomorrow :005:
Hope it all goes well and can't wait for pics! :luv: One question, how do you pronounce her name? Youki? Youkee? Yuckee? Like to know the details :005:
-
How exciting! I remember that feeling very well. I was so excited but also very nervous as Abbi was our first dog and wasn't sure if I was up to the job!
As for bringing Yuki home, we used a small pet travel crate as I was worried that she might wriggle around in the back with the children or worst still get thrown forward if the unmentionable were to happen. She was on the back seat and could see us. She cried the whole way home but it was only a 15 minute trip. We felt very mean but made up for it as soon as she was home. She was a bit like that everytime we went out in the car initially but I was determined that she should stay in the carrier for her own safety. We did "car travel training" every day for about 5 or 10 mins until she seemed to just accept the crate in the car and was quite happy to just doze off. It only took a few trips and she was fine. (Sorry to witter on!)
Try and get a bit of sleep tonight so that you can enjoy tomorrow.

Taliesin is looking forward to meeting Miss Yuki ;)
As for pronounciation, I say Yooki but I could be wrong.

I've got a pet travel box so I'll take that. Just to be safe then. I'm getting her from gosport so short car journey and boat. So no longer than hour-ish.
Its pronounced you-key :) my other half has a thing for japanese things and it just kind of suited.
-
OMG If I wasn't in the office tomorrow I would go and sit outside the ferry terminal to catch a look!!! :005:
Lovely name btw :luv:
-
Hehe thanks! Woo 9hours to go. I should attempt to sleep now! I'll be back with pictures tomorrow. :lol2: unless I can't sleep.

Soft crates offer very little protection when travelling in a car so if safety is a top concern then a heavier metal crate is safest.
-
And?????? Surely you've fetched her already???
We're having withdrawal symptoms due to lack of puppy pics. :lol2:
-
Where are pics :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :005: :005:
-
She's here! Well on the ferry with her. Ferry was delayed, so picture soon as! She is a gem. So so cute! Update soon! Thanks for all the kind replies!

I agree about the metal crate being the best, but a soft crate and a seatbelt do quite well too.

So first 24 hours...what can I say? hmmmm she has been a little :angel: I'm quite shocked by her. She is utterly scrumptious. Enjoys her new toys and my feet lol seems to understand where to toilet ph34r but this might be my eagerness to make sure she outside regularly. She cried for 30 mins when we went to bed, then cried at 5:30am to go out and then insisted I played with her. So its been a long day :005: She had her first jab today too didn't even notice what was going on, she just loved all the attention. I'm so so so pleased with her but all can change once she has settled in more I know. I hope she doesn't though as she is so laid back :luv: photo's soon, promise!
