I'm getting ready to purchase a male pup within the next few weeks and want to make sure I have everything I need beforehand. I also want to make sure I know how much I'll be spending, so I guess this is basically a list of everything I expect I will be paying for. I've compiled a list below of EVERYTHING I think I will need. Is there anything else I need, or anything that I've listed that I don't really need? I want to make sure I have absolutely every little thing down.

CRATE ITEMS ================
Crate
Blanket

FOOD / HEALTH ===============
Food (What kind?)
Treats (Cheerios? Cheese?)
Water bowl and food bowl (stainless steel, tip-proof)
Finger toothbrush
Toothpaste
Hair brush
Dog shampoo
Chew toy (What kind?)
Pee pads

MISC =======================
Toys (A ball?)
Body harness
Tag / collar

"MAINTENANCE" ===============
First vet visit
Shots (If the puppy is 9-12 weeks old, how many will I have to get in the first year and subsequent years?)
Annual (bi-annual?) dental / health checkup
Haircuts
Neutering
