Hi Julie. Lots of great advice already posted for you here. I did the same as you almost two years ago when I awaited my pup.

I highly recommend a small crate and also a Xpen (exercise pen) for your puppy. It will be easier to housebreak the pup if he is confined to his own little area.

I also recommend a good harness. I own a Puppia and also a good retractable leash for housebreaking, etc., in the yard. I never left my Yorkie roam free in the yard when housebreaking.

A good raincoat is a must and of course all the sweaters, coats, etc. for the winter. I would wait until he or she arrives and try on the correct size. Your pup will outgrow the outfits after the first year and you will have to get a new set of everything. I donated mine to the shelter for any small dogs or puppies that might be left there.

Lots of good luck!

There are wonderful vendors on YT who have fabulous products. A few of my favorites are the Krackle Jax toy, Yorkie Yummies, a pink fuzzy cuddle bed, nighties, silk harnesses, and PJs. Also here is a site for a darling ex-pen:
