You've gotten some good suggestions so far. My only advice is to plan like hell. That's what I'm doing while I wait on my Amstaff pup. I'm a pretty good planner and have planned all kinds of puppy related stuff. I've been setting aside money every paycheck for the pup. I've started tweaking my schedule at work now so by the time the pup gets here I will have maximum time with it. I'm saving up my vacation time like a pack rat. I've already made lists of all the stuff I need to puppy proof in my house, things to do prior to the puppy coming on, ways to break up feeding/walking/training etc.

Planning takes a lot of the worry out of it for me, so I can just be plan ol excited!
