Rocky New Year
Tomorrow is a big day here...
Someone is turning 1 year old!
A couple of shots of Rocky from this morning
While he didn't arrive at his new home until 8 weeks later... and he wasn't quite the first Boston Baby of the New Year (much to his mama's relief, I'm sure!)... little did we know this time last year, that our "Little Rock" was born. (And nice to finally know the actual birth date of one of my pets!)
While his weight has increased three-fold in the past year (well, 10 months), he is only 18-ish lbs (both his parents were under 20 lbs)... and he's just kind of stretched and filled out... and, oh yeah, those ears "popped"... here is the picture that pretty much "had us at hello":
It's probably a very good thing that his sister already had a home by the time we contacted the breeder or else I may be talking about a double birthday.
While I can't say he hasn't been a challenge at times (slow housebreaking, a lot of chewed furniture, terrorizing felines), he has been a real joy to have... just the happiest and most playful little dog around! And still pretty darn adorable too!
I'll pop in tomorrow to let you know what the final page tally is in my 2007 reading challenge... but since we're headed into another of those long holiday weekends, let me wish you a...
Happy New Year!
OMG how cute!! They're adorable!

Correct use of the training leash is important, not only during training sessions, but at all times. Always having a loop over your thumb and your hand closed into a fist, prevents even the strongest dog from unexpectedly jerking the leash through your fingers and breaking free. Whether it's the hand-loop or a loop formed by marrying the leash over your thumb, the result is the same. Pulling on the leash merely causes your grip to tighten
