    New && confused

    Hi there I'm Lindsay! We get our new puppy in just under three weeks. He is a chocolate lab named Teddy. Having never had a pet of any kind (other than goldfish) I'm equally excited and terrified!! Please be patient with my silly questions and cluelessness.

    Welcome to the board. Do you have any puppy pictures from the breeder? We'd love to see them.

    Don't worry, we all started somewhere. Heck, lots of us start with a pup, the pup grows up and years and years later we get another one and forget what it was like to have a puppy.

    A book that helped me to get ready for new puppy was Good Owners, Great Dogs by Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson. Other folks will have some suggestions too.

    Welcome! Definitely check out the stickies at the top of each forum and search the archives; lab puppies can be crazy critters and it may help to see you have company with your questions!

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    Hello and Welcome!

    What a little cutie! The waiting for pup to come home is the hardest part.
