Bringing the Baby Home

Today is the day the puppy comes home. It has been a whirlwind of activity to prepare for our Bichon Frise puppy. We have been running around the house looking for things that we don't want him to get any ideas about chewing on especially the cords to the lamps and things that he could either chew through or knock off. Either could be disastrous.
I have also moved all the glassware off of the shelving and tables that are at puppy height. I would hate to see any of them get broken, but even more important, I don't want any opportunities for my sweet baby to get hurt.
In addition, I have put all the cleaning supplies up and in a locked cupboard so they can't accidentally be left out where he can get into them during a moment of curiosity.
Because I am not sure of the names of all the houseplants that I have collected over the years, I cannot look online to see what ones of them may be toxic. I have given the majority of them away and moved the remainder to hangers or to the top of bookshelves to ensure the puppy can't chew on them.
