Shopping for that new puppy...

Enzymatic cleaner for 'accidents' (I like Odoban too.)
Toys – plush and chew toys
Puppy shampoo & brush/comb
A lead that can slip over their neck for a potty break on the ride home – and before you let him out of his crate so you don't lose him.
Potty pads for when they are confined alone
Puppy treats for training
Dog bed or crate (unless the puppy is being shipped, then use the crate he arrives in for training) & bedding
Food & Water bowls
Small enclosure pen (great for outside playtime) &/or gates for keeping him where you want him.

10. Puppy tooth brush & paste

Wait until after puppy arrives to...

Get puppy food – I use Nutri-Source small/med puppy food in the purple bag. Your puppy will come with some along with coupons for savings. Expect him to eat puppy food till he's about 7 months old.
Collar & Leash – I really prefer these little dogs to have a harness to protect their necks. You can take them with you to have them measured for the perfect fit. It's always fun to show off your new pup at the pet store too... watching to see what toys & treats 'spark' their interest.
