Elaine,
We are having the best time with our new puppy!
He is such a smart, intuitive and loving little guy. He
loves to explore everything outdoors and just loves to
roll in the sunny grass. He also learned to bury his
milkbones in the landscape mulch within an hour of
coming home. Amazingly, he remembers where each one is
buried and goes back for them when he wants one.
He is doing well in the house as well, with no
potty accidents at all! He goes right to the back door
and whines/paws at the door when he needs to go outside.
He is enjoying socializing with all the dogs he
meets and has taken to walking on a leash around the
neighborhood (about 1/2mi.) very well over the last
three days. He took particular interest in the black &
white border collie a few doors down, as if he sensed
they could understand one another.
The nights have gone great, with him sleeping in
his crate without crying or accidents from about 8:30 pm
until 7:00 am! (much better that my daughter).
Last evening he was sitting with us on the back
patio when four mallard ducks came strolling up the hill
from the lake and onto his turf. He took off across the
back yard like lightning, barking all the way, then
stood his ground for about ten minutes to be sure they
didn't come back. Let's see him tackle the Canadian
geese that like to make a nuisance of themselves.
He and Lauren are getting along quite well,
although he needs frequent reminders that his little
puppy teeth are off limits to her. She loves him so
much already & can't wait to see him every morning &
give him a hug and kiss each night. It was Lauren who
chose a name for him, calling him "my Rocky, he's a good
boy". So we've all decided to call him "Rocky",
(Stillwater's Cimarron Red Rocky).
Rocky has a vet appointment on Tuesday. He sure
seems to be a healthy vigorous guy. I'll let you know
how it goes.
Shari, Joe, Lauren & Rocky
