Catching up with Cruze

Hi everyone.  I am going to tell you how I have been since being here with Phyllis and Cookie and Elvis.  I feel great and have a great time here doig what I like best which isn't much to you maybe, but its great for me.  I don't like to play with dogs or toys.  I don't want to chew any bones  All I want to do is sit next to Phyllis or have her carry me.  She doesn't mind because I am so small.  She is trying to find a home for me.  I have no idea why as it is just perfect for me here.  Phyllis knits a lot so I get to sit by her all the time.  I love the food she gives me too. 
Phyllis takes us out a lot and I love to pottty outside BUT I need to wear this thing around me that covers my private parts because sometimes I pee in the house.  I hate the belly band as she calls it but have learned to live with it.  It should be the worst thing that ever happens to me anyway.  She leaves it off when she is home and I go out every two hours and will stay dry, but if she leaves the house I need to wear it because soetimes I get scared or anxious when I am alone and I will pee myself.
Last night I peed on the floor and even though Phylllis never yells at me or punishes me something tells me that when she says "what did you do?" I feel like I need to run under the bed.
Phyllis says she is looking for a home for me with an older person who just wants to pat me and hold me because those are my favorite things.  Nobody ever did that before I got here.
I sleep on the bed with Phyllis and as long as I can lay next to her I sleep all night.  She feels so good to me I just love to lay next to her and I would do it 24 hours a day if she was sitting all that time
Phyllis told us that Saturday the 16th we are getting a new foster here.  I know I won't like him buSt Phyllis is pretty sure that Elvis needs someone to play with because all he does is bring her a ball and barks.  Of course I know what he is saying and so does she so she gets on the floor and throws a ball for him until he gets tired.  I know that she is not crazy about doing it because she groans when she has to get up.  We are about the same age, Phyllis and I, but I don't moan and groan when I lay down so I don't understand why she does.
If I think of anything interesting to tell you I wiill be back but I am pretty boring if I do say so myself.  I'm so glad that United Yorkie Rescue sent me here because I love Phyllis and don't know if I can love anyone else the way I love her.

Barney went to his forever home

I am so excited to tell you that I am now in my foreveer home and I have the best Mom in the world.  Phyllis picked her from about 10 people who wanted to adopt me!  Well this time she hit the tail on the head.  I loved being here with Phyllis.  She taught me all kinds of good things.  How people can love me and how to get in trouble and how to run around the house faster than she can.  Elvis taught me how to play and even though I was using a pee pee pad, I started to like going outside too.  It is so much fun to lift a leg or squat in the grass.  When the bushes are wet it's fun to go there to pee and get sprinkled with the water from the rain.  She also has a thing she calls a clicker and when she asked me to sit the first time she had to push me down a little because I didn't know what she wanted.  So she put me down on my butt and then said I was good!!!! and cliicked that thing and gave me a delicious treat!  Wow, I loved it so for the rest of the day whenever she was with me and she asked me to sit I did and got clicked and a treat every time.  So she knows how very smart I am and told my new Mom how smart I was.
So, about two weeks ago a lady came to the house to visit.  I liked her so much that I jumped up on her lap and fell asleep after Elvis and I got through showing off for her.  She stayed for a long time talking to Phyllis and then she left.
About 10 days ago she came back.  She took me out to the car and............Phyllis was going back in the house.  Oh No!  I don't want to be in a strange car with a strange lady and no Phyllis to pat me and kiss me and let me clean her glasses.  Finally, after a little panic attack, I just lay down on the lady with my head and went to sleep.  I just couldn't deal at that moment.  Well, she took me to her apartment and it is way up high on the fifth floor.  I walked around, found the wee wee pads and just didn't know quite what to do.  The lady was nice and took me for a long walk.  She is so nice because I am just a puppy and don't walk well on my leash.  When I see anything else that moves I want to get it so now the Lady, who is now my Mom, uses the same way to train me that Phyllis does.
It is hard to tell Phyllis about the past 10 days because that damned phone keeps falling out of my paw and my texting skills are no better
My Lady is the best forever Mom a dog could ask for.  She is patient because she knows I am a puppy and she is training me all the time.
My lady writes books and sails her own boat and next week I am going on the adventure of my life.   I am sailing with my Lady to theBahamas.  Just my Lady and me!!!  I have been on her boat and I think I like it but I will know better when we leave
My Lady takes me for long walks and except for the occasional use of the wee wee pad in an emergency, I am doing all my business outside.  There are lots of paths here and we are surrounded by water.  Lots of dogs to meet and people to meet.  I try not to jump on them but I get so excited.
My Lady will help me with that
ok, guys and gals, Barney has left the house!!
