[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My puppy is now 1. Just thinking of the logistics of trying to pull this off is stressing me out! You really should do your best to make the first introduction between kids and the puppy as peaceful as possible. Christmas is just not that day--too much excitement and crazy and emotions wrapped up together. Our puppy cried the entire first two nights she was home despite me sleeping next to her crate. I cleaned so much poop and pee those first few days. Not sure how I could have kept her hidden.

Instead, the kids were prepped to be calm when they met her after school the day we picked her up. They made her cards and it was such a sweet moment (followed by all the chaos the first couple weeks of puppy-at-home brings!). She's absolutely awesome now and all was worth it.

Hope that it's a beautiful time for your family but definitely be realistic about the blood, sweat pee, poo and tears of those early days![/quote]

Don't forget stepping on little lost puppy teeth!  :lol: Those things are worse than legos![/quote]

Yes!!! Almost forgot about that. And the velociraptor/shark phase when those sharp little puppy teeth get everyone's hands/feet/any exposed body part that you let sit still for too long! I had little tiny tooth holes in all my pants. It was nuts![/quote]

Frozen washcloths saved our hands/limbs/clothes during that phase.

This thread is making me want another puppy...  :mrgreen: [/quote]
