I remember feeling just like you, I had just been through and aweful ordeal myself and the fear of loosing Laci horrified me... I was so afraid of every little thing I read... mostly early death... liver shunt , hypoglicemic attack... but then I just started to think, its no different from a real baby.. things happen and you just need to be aware!!
Laci has brought more joy to my life then you can imagine... she is the best companion in the world...
You will have so much joy from your little puppy..
Housetraining just takes time and alot of patience... Laci learned to go outside fairly quickly but she still does have accidents.. its not really a big deal..
A few kisses later and I forget all about the little pee pee stain..
Enjoy your new puppy, think about the positive stuff and he will bring you many years of Joy
