Thank you for the replies. We are soooo excited and can't wait for him to come home. I will post pictures as soon as he gets here.

I am leaning towards a metal crate. So he can see out of the sides. He'll only really been in it at night (in my room) until he's potty trained. I figured even though I'm home all day he could still use it as a den if he wanted to.
What size should I get? 18 inches seems so small.
