Rocky’s Neighborhood Friends

While Rocky is very popular at the kennels, he has also made a few select friends in the neighborhood, actually, just two of them. One is Yogi, with whom he is in constant conversation across the fence. They chitchat, exchanging curious sniffs, playful glances, and silent understandings. Yogi clearly adores him. The other is Huxley,ContinueContinue reading “Rocky’s Neighborhood Friends”

The Day Rocky Wandered

Rocky was out for a while, exploring both the front and back yard. The dry crab apples from fall had wilted and been crushed beneath the winter snow. Now his interest had shifted to fallen twigs scattered by strong winter winds and to the lingering scents of nocturnal animals—as if he were the keeper ofContinueContinue reading “The Day Rocky Wandered”

Happy Dance

I did read that labradors love water. However so far Rocky’s affinity towards water has been only limited to drinking it. But then he hasn’t had the opportunity to swim yet. It’s getting warmer and gardening is in full swing. The plants need water. I love this time of the year. But this year IContinueContinue reading “Happy Dance”

Rocky’s Third Christmas

Rocky is now 3 1/2 years old, and in dog years, he’s a young man—full of personality, well-established habits, and quirks. He continues to surprise us in the most delightful ways. It’s incredible how animals communicate so profoundly without uttering a single word, relying instead on their expressions and actions. I often find myself wishingContinueContinue reading “Rocky’s Third Christmas”

Rocky’s Black Friday Shopping

Rocky loves to ride in the car. He mostly settles down in the backseat sleeping. When he is not, he stares intensely at the front seat driver or passenger following the conversation and making sure everything is fine. He only gets up on his two hind legs to check the surroundings if the car slowsContinueContinue reading “Rocky’s Black Friday Shopping”

Rocky is an Adult!

Rocky turned 2 in May this year and was officially declared an adult dog by the vet last month during his annual check up! At 2, Rocky is a healthy, happy dog boy and there was nothing big in my list to discuss with the vet, except for the lack of thick hair in hisContinueContinue reading “Rocky is an Adult!”

Acrobatics in Snow

Albeit a bit late to share some winter snow pictures… Here is Rocky having too much fun trying to catch a snow ball in the February snow. I was amazed to see him jump so high and realized how tall he is if he stood on his two hind legs. As you can see heContinueContinue reading “Acrobatics in Snow”

Expressions

Rocky is very inquisitive and sneaky. He is almost one and a half years old but his facial expressions can match up to any adult human. It’s just mesmerizing. The photo below captures his casual stare but often with some intention. He seems to be soaking up everything he is watching. Reminds me of myContinueContinue reading “Expressions”

Rocky by the Sea

It’s Rocky’s birthday! He turns one year old this week! Yay! In celebration we headed out to the beach yesterday. Nonetheless we wereContinueContinue reading “Rocky by the Sea”

Business in the Snow

It’s been a few weeks since I last wrote about Rocky. Well, snowy winter is still on and we have to be careful with the roads and black ice. To Rocky’s dismay some days we have to miss our daily walks too! In the meanwhile, Rocky continues to love the fluffy white stuff and gazesContinueContinue reading “Business in the Snow”

Neighborhood Walks with Rocky

Walking around the neighborhood with Rocky has never been very relaxing. For me, these walks are pretty stressful. You just cannot predict what to expect. Rocky at two months used to walk zigzag down the road like a drunken dog pouncing on every little thing that came his way. Well now, he is a littleContinueContinue reading “Neighborhood Walks with Rocky”
