Very cute

I got this book for my new puppy and it had been alot of fun going through it and looking back and some of the fun things she did in her first weeks with me. Great gift idea for new pet owners.

great photos

This is a very cute record book for your new puppy. The only problem I see with it is that its got a space for the pup's mom and dad's name and birthplace, and then one for the grandfather and one for the grandmother...when in fact, their should be two sets of grandparents. Its got great photos of dogs of different breeds and crosses on each set of pages. CONTENTS: (here's what you get to fill out) Preparation (collar, ID tag, Leash, Bed, Food, Bowls, etc) Arrival (DOB, # of pups in litter, date came home, address) Choosing My Name (other names considered & inspiration for mine) My Breed (what we are known for) Best Features (my eyes/ears/fur/tail is...) Family Tree (dog's and human family) Growing Up Special Moments Birthdays My Favorite Toys Best Friends (of the dog type) My Very Special Friend (dog's significant other?) My Favorite Food My Favorite Places to Sleep Vacations Top Spots Achievements Annoying Habits Exercise Grooming Bath Time Paw Prints (place for your pups paw prints) Training My Records (Flea treatments, vaccinations, vet visits, wormings) Important Addresses I recommend using a very fine tip Sharpie to write in it so your comments stand out on the page. The fine tip pen-type sharpies don't bleed through the pages. On a two-page spread (when the book is open) there is either a photograph of a dog on one page, or a place for a picture of your dog, and a lined page for you to write on, opposite of the photo. There are odd pages throughout with different places to put text and photos of your pup's dog friends, etc... but this is the general setup. There are 6 places to put photos of your dog, so you might want to print them small if you'd like to fit more than one on each page. I like this record book because it will keep memories and records in an organized, professionally photographed format, which is nice to look at. But I am also going to keep a small photo album of my pup. It seems to be targeted toward pure-bred puppies where you'll know its birthday, parents and grandparents names, etc. but you could use an adopted dog easily by making up his birthday or using the date you got him, and filling in his human parents on his family tree. Be creative. Enjoy
