Congratulation!! Rusty is soooo cute!!!
Well, you will need a lots of pee pad for the first few weeks.
Puppy tend to pee a lot when they are young and also you probably want to spread out in your room so you can protect your carpet!! (they will have lots of accidents, you know!!)
Dry food is better, IMO.
I used small toothbrush and it isn't working well so I am considering to switch to finger brush.
I would recommend to have few different treat.
My Momiji is pretty picky eater and I had gone through about 10 different treat and found maybe 3 out of those 10 that she likes!!!
It goes to the food as well.
I gone through 8 different dog food (thank goodness for samples!!) and she only likes Royal Canin.... (or wet food or boiled chicken...)
Just spend lots of time with him but I strongly recommend to start train him to stay home alone.
I started too late and now she cries every time I leave home....
And yes I recommend baby gate as well. (Buy tall one since yorkies are good jumper!!)
Good luck and can't wait to hear more about Rusty when you pick him up!!!!
