Meet Winny!

Hi everyone... so, I'd love to introduce you to Winny! I am seriously in love after just a few days. She's a Cockapoo - a mix between a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. She's only eight weeks old, but she's fearless yet gentle and so sweet. I honestly cannot believe her temperament and how smart she is. My life is all puppy talk lately. She's all I can think about! But she's doing so great with her potty training, climbing the stairs and eating her food. She rides in the car like a champ, plays with other pups nicely and loves to cuddle. I honestly get tears at how proud I am when she does everything right.


Eric and I talked about how if it was a boy, we'd name it Winchester (after our favorite restaurant and the place we had our "first date") and call him Winny for short. But since it ended up being a girl, she's just straight up "Winny". We love her to pieces. I'm so excited for the future. I actually cried the other day while holding her and was like, "We're gonna do so much! Lighthouse explore, swim in Lake Michigan, go for walks and runs!" I'm such a dog mom right now and sentimental as all get out.


This bottom picture is my favorite look she gives me. I seriously die. Whenever she's outside and I'm like "Go potty!" she gives me this look and then scampers off. It just cracks me up. So, expect to see a lot more of Winny on here and of course, on Instagram. I'm kinda obsessed. She's so hard to photograph though because she's so dark! Every once in a while you'll just catch a glimpse of the white of her eyes!

Oh, my, GOODNESS what a precious pup! I'm not normally a dog person, but she could certainly sway me ;) Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of! She looks like the perfect compliment to your style too :) Delicate and adorable.

She is the cutest pup! I totally get the mom-dog-talk bit. I love my pup and still call him a pup even though Husband says he's like a 100 in dog years, now! ;)

She is absolutely adorable. I'm in love and want a cockapoo now! I'm major dog-lover, so any puppy will melt my heart, but she is definitely an above average cutie! :)

Natasha said...

Oh she's so adorable. We have three dogs and I love them more than anything. I missed them so much when we went to Thailand. There's lots of stray dogs around and one day I just started crying because I just missed our dogs so much.

Vera Elisabeth said...

Aw congratulations on your new fur baby!! they are the best :) i remember when hendrix could go up and down stairs, and under chairs without tripping on the rungs. it was such a "big boy" moment, and i was so proud. fur babies definitely fill a spot in your heart that's meant only for them :)

Being mama to a pet is the best! You sound/look so happy! It's amazing what having a pet will do for you :)
I've been with my bf for 3 years, we've spent the past year long distance since I moved for job reasons. If I didn't have my little shadow of a sweet kitty I would be lost!

Caitlin said...

Congrats Mama! :)
I've been a doggie mom for coming up on a year now! It was a last minute decision, but one that I am thankful every day that I helped make. :) They are a massive undertaking, but oh man is it worth it! For the first 8 months or so my mind was consumed with puppy thoughts. Toys, sweaters, brushes, shampoos, groomers, etc!
I love the name, but I'm slightly biased because my dog's name is Winston! Our former dog walker actually used to call him Winnie!
Good luck with her! She's adorable!

Bethany said...

I have that exact same jacket that I got from Burlington Coat Factory! I used to work for TJ Maxx and I noticed we had a lot of the same things as BCF.

I <3 Winny! What a sweetheart! And congratulations on being a dog mom. :) As a dog mom myself, I completely share your proud sentiment about every little thing she does. My little girl just got knee surgery a couple weeks ago and is having to learn to walk again and every step she takes almost brings tears to my eyes! I actually just blogged about it yesterday! :)

Awww, she's definitely a cutie! I definitely fuss over my little baby-I mean dog-all the time. I have a Jack Russell Terrier Mix named Champ. He fell asleep with his head against my chest in the car the other day and it was so ridiculously precious. Here's to being a dog mommy, it is awesome!

She is the sweetest.

hellolyndsey said...

awwww this makes me think about the excitement of the first day when we got Niyah, my boston terrier. She's a miniature dwarf, very rare for their breed, so she'll only be 11lbs throughout her life! Isn't it great to be a pup mommy?

Winny is such a cutie and I have (and will continue) to enjoy seeing her on Instagram!
