Hello and Welcome!!!

When we were looking for a Portie, I enjoyed the few blogs and websites that are out there. I decided it was a great way to record his life and our enjoyment with him. So this is... Cruz's blog. a.k.a. "Cypress Bay's Midnight Cruz". Enjoy!

Winter Walk

Just got back from our first offical  real walk.   He has finally learned what a leash is ans is getting much better.  Usually he would keep stopping and it ending up to be a sniffing session, instead of a walk.  He made it for 15 minutes before he looked up at me like he had enough.  I picked him up and carried him to give him a rest, then, back down for the home stretch.  Great walk!  My ears were really cold, so I figured it was long enough to be out, 20 minutes in total!!  We both did great.  Didn't see any other people walking their dogs, but it is early on a Saturday morning.  I would of been sleeping if not woken at 6 am by a whining puppy!

Introducing...Cypress Bay's Midnight Cruz (aka "green boy")

Well, it has been a great 3 weeks with our puppy. He is so awesome. He is a really good and smart dog. I am so happy to finally have him in our family. At home he follows me everywhere I go. He has slept all night in his crate since bringing him home. Amazing! He has learned his name, learned to "sit", and rings the bell on the door when he has to be let out. The nipping has been the most challenging, though he is getting much better within the last few days. (Google is a great thing) He LOVES to be around other dogs, so I try to get him out a couple times a week to play with different friend's dogs. "Kody" (pictured above) lives next door and is a golden doodle. They play great together. Tomorrow is Cruz's visit to the vet for his 12 week well check and next round of vaccines. I can't wait to see how much he weights. He has grown so much in 3 short weeks
