Rocky the Chiweenie

Even though this is a little out of order, everyone wants to know what Rocky looks like so here he is!

This is Rocky's first picture on the way home with us:

So here's Rocky's story...

Rocky is a chihuahua/dachshund mix (a chiweenie!) who came from a home in Tennessee where he was abused. Then, he was sent to a kill shelter where he was going to be put down, but a really nice woman thought he was too sweet and adorable to have his short little life end like that and took him home to be his "foster mom." Well, I think ALL dogs are too cute and sweet to be put down, but at least we got to be part of little Rocky's rescue! He was born on January 1st of 2007 so he's almost 8 months old. He has the sweetest disposition of any dog I've ever met and loves his new family so much.

My dad with Rocky:

Rocky loves car rides, so we got him a little car seat that lifts him up in the air so that he can see out the window, but also has a little seatbelt so that he doesn't get hurt.

Here's Rocky on his first car ride with his new doggie car seat:

Rocky's first walk in the park:

Rocky's first playdate with Jake, Cathy's dog:

He's so little and cute!

When Rocky first arrived, he wouldn't play at all. He'd run around excited and happy, but he was terrified of the squeaking noises that his toys made. We're not sure if maybe they're attached to some sort of bad memories from his past, who knows. Anyway, he warmed up to us very quickly and we taught him how to play and have fun so now he plays all the time:

Anyway, Rocky is SO cute and SO sweet and I'm sure you'll all be seeing a lot more of him on The Blonde Excuse.

Check back for more Florida pictures and some fun nights out with my friends soon!
