My
wife bought Rocky from a breeder shortly after meeting me. He was
named after my favorite movie Rocky, and he fits that description
perfectly. Although he barely weighs eight pounds, he thinks he can
take on the world. He is our little tough guy. Throughout the day, he
spends the day following my every move. Sometimes by my feet, but
mostly being carried like a little baby. At night, he cuddles with us
in bed and basically just hogs the whole bed. For being as small as he
is, its hard to imagine but he manages. I know this all sounds very
crazy, and how can we let this little tiny dog get away with all this
stuff? Well, shortly after getting him, he was diagnosed with a heart
murmur and pulmonary stenosis. This prevents him from acting like a
regular dog as we have to keep his activity level down, because if he
gets overexcited, he passes out. He has lived longer than the doctors
thought he would live, and every day he lightens up our day with his
bright eyes and with his daily antics. He can spend the day in the
pool with us or he is just as happy sleeping as long as we are within
eye range. To know Rocky is to love Rocky.
