Introducing Rocky Marciano Cuevas Pagliaro. Yep! That's his name. He's now six months old and he's a PomChi (half Pomeranian, half toy Chihuahua). When he plays, he bats his little paws like he's boxing so clearly we gave him the name of a great fighter .... accompanied by mine and my husband's last names.
Rocky is still trying to get used to going out the doggie door. He doesn't like doorways. He was so tiny that once we closed the door on him and he kinda got the jam. So with the doggie door, he pushes it with his paws, swinging it outwards, waits for the door to swing in and then on its outswing again, he jumps through! If it isn't just right, he won't go through so sometimes it takes several tries. I bet he feels pretty superior when he makes though. Funny that when he has a doggie play date, he doesn't think about the doggie door as much and pushes his way through without a second thought.
Rocky loves to stand up for us on his back feet, especially for treats. He also loves to fetch and tear up paper. He's a lover and a great comfort when I'm sick. And don't you love the two dog picture? That's Hailey, his girlfriend. That was their first play date. He was telling her, "Look, I know you're a girl, and your taller than me but this is MY backyard you hear? Ok, now let's go play!"
Rocky is so social. He loves people, especially kids. Rocky's a little guy, weighing in at 9 lbs now but he steps up with the big dogs. In fact, he loves big dogs. He's enthusiastic and so much fun. He's quite the character. When you whistle or sing, he stops and cocks his head over to one side as if in amazement....or wonderment. My husband and I are so glad we brought him home in late June when he was only eight weeks. Now, at six months, Rocky is showing us his "guard dog" skills. When a noise is suspicious, he lets us know. He is definitely doing his job.
Con Dios, Amor, y Salsa!
