Rockford Winston Balboa!

A couple of months ago we brought home Rocky, our little black compact dog! Here is a picture of him hanging out in our apartment. He is the joy of my day (besides Paul of course)! It breaks my heart to leave him at home during the day-- he just looks so sad to be left alone for hours in a boring apartment.....

He is 7 years old; he's a mix between Schipperke and Bensenji (we think) and likes to bark! We're really trying to break his habit of barking when we come in the house, but it's hard because he is just so excited to see us that he can't contain himself!

Paul adopted Rocky a couple of years ago. However, when Paul moved to Ann Arbor, he wasn't able to bring Rocky to the new place. Some friends were taking care of him until a couple of months ago when we decided to bring him into our home! He likes to play with his stuffed Snowman, go for long, long walks, and LOVES car rides-- especially if we are going to the park! He's really smart too-- he knows the words 'outside,' 'park,' and 'car ride.'

This weekend Paul and I took him camping at a park in Brighton, MI. He loves camping! He was so well behaved-- just sat at the edge of the forest and watched for anything that moved. At one point he actually started chasing a deer four times his size! He didn't catch it, but sure thought he might!

I know most of you have met Rocky, and he misses you, as do Paul and I! Come visit!
