This week is my golden retriever, Rocky's, first birthday.
It has been a very interesting year. It's funny how we forget what the puppy phase is like until we get another puppy. Well, there hasn't been a dull moment with Rocky.
He is always busy chewing something or other. Don't their jaws ever get tired?
He has demolished at least 7 beds and three blankets.
He's chewed holes in the walls of my kitchen.
He's chewed the edges of my cabinets.
And today he was busy chewing the door frame of my home office.
Even after all that, he is the greatest dog ever!!!!! He gives me so much joy and makes me smile all the time.
I know he will eventually chill out and be a good boy, but for now his dog collar says "Bad to the Bone" and he is convinced that his full name is "Rocky No".
Even as a little guy, Rocky was a nut. I think we chose him because he had personality where the other pups just wanted to sleep. He was busy going through the breeders yard biting off flower heads. I thought at least he will be entertaining. Boy is he!
This is my favorite picture of Rock. He was about 9 weeks old and just had his first bath. This was his first encounter with ice cubes. He has quite the fascination with cubes still.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCKY!
THANKS FOR A YEAR OF LOVE, LOYALTY AND FUN!
