Preparing for a baby! Or is it a puppy?

Anticipating the arrival of a new puppy is sort of like anticipating the arrival of a new baby, especially if it is your firstborn.  I'm not speaking from experience of having a child, but we sure are doing a lot of things that new parents would do, I presume.

First, we buy a bigger house; one with a big backyard for the puppy to grow up in and run around (a baby's room/play room).  Next, we prepare all the necessities a puppy would need: chew toys (baby-proof toys), puppy food (baby food), collar (baby cloths), leash and harness (baby carriage), food and water bowl (baby utensils), puppy shampoo and other grooming kits (baby shampoo), poop bags/pads (diapers), puppy books (baby books), and a kennel (baby crib).  Finally, we baby-proof the house.  Lol.  It really is like we are preparing for a baby!

I'm NOT a dang puppy!
Well, only 1 1/2 day until we finally get to bring home Okami.  Then the nightmare should begin, what with all the vet visits, chewing of forbidden things, rough-housing with the cats, jealousy from the cats or puppy, whining, crying, accidents, cleaning wastes, and late, late nights.  This will definitely be our one and ONLY puppy for the rest of our lives.  The next one, and I'm hoping there will be another, will be adopted from a shelter and will have to be at least a year old.
