So, as of Monday.. I pick up my newest best friend - a four month old yorkshire terrier/papillon cross puppy.  
 
So far, he's got a couple chew toys, three different kinds of Nylabones, Iams puppy food, a big fuzzy doggie blanket, stainless steel water and food bowls, shampoo, and some training pads. Soon to come will be a carrier, leash, nail clippers, and harness.  
 
While I'm away for the day working, the little guy has a 9x7 foot area (with linoleum, thank god) all to himself, which has been transformed into his own little bedroom.  
 
Any suggestions on essentials that will aid me in the quest of house training, puppy wellbeing, etc? More than welcome for tips!!! Thanks!
