Smeraglia's Doodle Forum - Captain is here!

Well picked him up at JFK last night he was alert and kissing our faces! Is going to the bathroom outside and has not soiled his crate! Last night he cried for 30 minutes when time for bed but than slept till 5. He cries terribly when in crate and barks a lot! Teaching kids to only respond to him when he is quiet. Will try to follow puppy schedule and hopefully have a trainer come in till he has had all shots, parvo risk is past and he can go to puppy school! Love him up already!!!
