This is Rocky. The best Boston Terrier I have ever met. I hesitate to put him above all other dogs because I know Spiche reads these blogs regularly and she would be offended. Plus, I'm not sure if any of Rocky's tricks can top Spiche's feat of snatching a homemade tortilla from one of Mom's friends. Rocky's interests include: Balls, Yoga, Heart Attacking, Dry Food Topped with Wet Food and Microwaved for 20 Seconds, Jabberjawing with Bigger Dogs, The Sneak and Sniff (where you pretend you're not interested in sniffing another dog, and you walk past the dog, only to quickly turn around and sniff their butt, then dart away before the other dog can sniff you back), and Tug of War.
Rocky is not what you'd call "trained" in the classical sense. He's what Sue calls a free spirit, which means he can shred what he wants, when he wants.
When Rocky is caught doing something he knows will hurt someone's feelings, he becomes "bald," meaning his ears go flat on his head. As he tries to assess whether or not he has been forgiven, he will put one ear up. This phase is known as "helicoptering."
Anyway. He's quite a dog. If Spiche ever decides to finally visit me in New York (as she's been promising for the past 5 years), I will gladly arrange a meeting, and I will hold Rocky still long enough for Spiche to get equal sniffing time.
Rocky, I celebrate your courage and your strength.
Oooo, Spiche is jealous! A lot of press for Rocky...
ReplyDeleteRocky shows ambivalence regarding his new internet stardom. I'm sure he would appreciate it more if he could grasp the concept of an "inter-mobile connection." Alas, the world wide web was in its infancy stages when Rocky attended Boston University. Thus, there simply were not courses available to him. Still, i think he appreciates the gesture.
ReplyDeleteMe? I'm tickled brindle.
