Hi all
I pick up my little girl on 29th January. I can't wait. I work full time but from home 3 out of 5 days - hoping to take her to work for remaining 2 but do have daughters around if needs be. I'm a hiker and love distances over 10 miles so once she can do the miles we will be travelling around the UK on lots of walking adventures. I understand this will take at least a year to enable her bones to grow. Guess I'll be doing some carrying (pet rucksack?).
I'm buying various necessary items and I think I'm erring on the side of no crate. I have a pet bed and will buy some fluffy blankets/rugs so she has a main bed but other areas to lie on. I shall persevere without the crate and see how we go. I live in a bungalow so all on one level and plan to put her bed in my bedroom - closer to back garden, then one of the rugs in kitchen for when I nip out. I'll get a stair gate to block kitchen door. I am planning a new kitchen so I guess if she has a go at the cupboards it's no major problem! ☺
Any suggestions for things I definitely should get and any tips would be most welcome.
