Cruz is a male golden retriever who is 8 weeks old and is Manning’s brother. He is part of litter that our sister rescue, Adopt a Golden Knoxville got. He is a typical golden pup. He has been adopted by a family who has been our on waiting list for a puppy for several months. I have a new home and a new mom and dad and something called grand kids. They have all been waiting for me- that makes me feel special! My brother Manning got a different family but we both have new friend dogs to play with so we won’t be lonely. I heard my family likes to ride in the car a lot and that dogs always get to go too. Good thing- I don’t want to be left behind. They are calling me a new word- it’s “Cooper”. I guess that’s my name and I am getting used to it. I have to learn and get used to lots of new things (like what is a “pool”?) but my family is going to help me a lot. Soon I’ll be all grown up and I’ll know everything! Hugs from Cooper.
