Congratulations on your puppy to be. The things you need to expect to do with him are feeding, bathing, brushing, taking to groomer or learn to cut hair. (I started cutting dog hair when I was about 15--the first cuts were not perfect, but fur grows back quickly and no one got hurt!) Also taking puppy outside a lot and learning manners. Give him lots of safe toys, and play with him. Handle him a lot so he get used to you taking toys and food from him if you need to. You can do it!

It sounds like so much but remember you will have a new best friend who will love you more than anything. Remember to keep him safe in a crate while no one is there to watch him. Little dogs will try to eat anything. My Rosie has tried to eat tissue, paper, plastic and cloth as well as wood! We saved her once when she ate cloth, we had to use ipecac and she was sick and the cloth came back out. If we did not see her eat it, she could have died or needed an operation. Luckily she has grown out of almost all of this behaviour! I hope to see a photo of your puppy posted here when he arrives!
