Reality by Rocco

We were at the Chicago Air and Water Show on Saturday.

It's an unbelievable show. The US Air Force Thunderbirds and the US Navy Blue Angels perform. We have a friend with a boat, and Saturday we were able to watch the show from his boat on Lake Michigan. Our friend invited us for brunch at the Yacht Club, then we took the boat out for the air show.
Believe me when I say that sitting in a boat on the lake, drinking ice cold beers, looking at the city skyline with jets roaring by and doing an acrobatic show over our heads is a "live is good moment". Even the rain this year could not put a damper on our day. The beautiful colors of the rainy sky added to my euphoria.
Life was good.

Well, life was good until we woke up on Sunday morning.
The never ending battle between good and evil, also know as Rocco vs. The Futon, was played out as we slept.
And The Futon lost. Again.
Rocco was able to pull the futon mattress off the frame before he started to rip out the stuffing. The futon mattress is very heavy. And apparently Rocco is stronger than I give him credit for.

And here is his patented "hiding move" when he is trouble. He thinks he is invisible if he hides behind the kitchen island.

I just wish the "life is good" moments lasted longer than the Rocco's Reality moments.
But if that was true, you wouldn't be reading Rocco's Realm right now, would you?

This last pic is too funny! If there was ever a guilty expression, he's wearing it. (Our pooch thinks he's invisible in the bathtub.) :)
