Rocket Sauce, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rocket Sauce
Age: Seven months old
Gender: Male Breed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Home: Austin, Texas, USA
 
   Rocket Sauce, at seven months, is still a wild young'un... but very sweet. He seems to think he is a cat, since he climbs all over the couch and prefers to lounge up on the back of the sofa. He gets lots to study since he has five cats sharing his house. He is very funny and smiles at us all the time. He is working on his tricks repertoire, but he can do a mean "spin spin spin"! (Spinning in circles for treats.) He also loves to swim and pounce in the water.

    He got his name from his 'pop' who insisted upon it. It was from a "Tenacious D" song of that name. He got to name the dog, I got to pick the breed. So I guess that is fair. Mr. Sauce is very much still a puppy... very wild and lots of energy! He is so smart and will figure out any problem you give him, although he still loves to use me as a chew toy! That is the puppy in him I guess!

    Rocket loves chew toys that squeak. He has not disemboweled a stuffed toy yet (as I see many dogs who love to do that) so I guess that means Rocket is a peaceful and loving dog! (Ha ha!) He is bred to herd cows and sheep, and since we have neither at our house, he loves to herd us humans and cats (by nipping at our heels as we walk). He loves to swim. We recently got him a baby pool to play in which was not a good idea in retrospect - muddy paw prints everywhere - but he sure loves water. His favorite game is "bobbing for hotdogs." Rocket Sauce is turning out to be a great dog and we love him very much! He is the best!
