looks like you got everything.
Add baby wipes to that list For cleaning Oppsies off her behind lol.

Congrats!

As far as playpens, you might want to look into an ex pen. Prevents being chewed, lost of room, and you can put down pads on the bottom. Good luck and congratulations!

Joey didn't really care for the kong, but chew type toys are really important. He loved those plastic teething rings for puppies. I also love a car seat that we used as a crate/bed for overnight sleeping. His regular crate was too big for a puppy, and his carseat was just the right size to prevent him from peeing on one side and sleeping on the other. This really aided housebreaking. Here's a picture of it. Snoozer Pet Products 86 - Wheel Around Travel Pet Carrier in Red

I took some receiving blankets, and had Joey's breeder rub mama and I kept all but one blanket in a plastic bag. If he would soil that I would get out another blanket and add the freshly washed blanket to the bag to acquire mama scent again. I think this really helped with home sickness, and soon my scent was the one he liked. I've never seen a play pen like that, it really sounds like a good idea, and the price is great, I wonder if they could get out the bottom? Your other picture doesn't open. Don't forget shampoo and conditioner, dog's have a different pH, and need to use products made for their skin type, I like the Biogroom products.

well looks like u have everything you need....as far as conditioner and shampoo i would say get bio groom...

For shampoo/conditioner, we use Cloud Start Buddy Wash/Rinse. It's all natural and leaves their coat super silky!

As far as the playpen goes, I haven't found ever seen one that fits all of those requirements. Here is the one we used for Franklin.. we love it! Walmart.com: North State - Superyard XT Portable Playard and Gate: Gear

Congratulations on your new pup. I can't wait to see pics!

I highly reccomend the PetGear Play Pens. I have two - and I don't know what I did without them. the top is open, but they are slightly over 24' tall. Unless you have an escape artist jumper like Scarlett, I doubt your little one will be escaping over the top. One of the things I like best is that it has a zippered door that you can unzip and allow them to go in and out.

Good luck!

I wouldn't want to be without Benadryl in case of an allergic reaction. Children't liquid is fine and figure your pup's dose before a problem comes up.

Playpens do come in handy and a carseat would be a good idea.

For shampoo, I'd look into the John Paul and Tigi lines.

Some other things you might want are nail clippers, dog friendly nail polish, towels for bath time unless you're sharing yours, robe, washcloths for eye gunk, eye wash (sterile water not contact solution), ear cleaner, thermometer with KY jelly and disposable covers, a bell for her harness, Snuggle Safe heated disc, treat jar, brush, Tick Twister (depending on your area), stroller.............................. I guess it depends on how much you want to spend.
