Guilty Face?

Photobucket

I know this picture is small....it was taken with my camera phone. But I think you get the concept.
Rocco is once again, stealing the toilet paper roll.
And this time he got caught.
Doesn't he look pathetic?

Napping in this house......

is almost impossible to do with two big dogs.
Photobucket
Actually, two, big COMPETITIVE dogs.
For example, my husband tried to take a nap, and Rocco layed next to him.
Enter Molly, who then positions herself between them.
It looks like an idyllic scene, but they will continue to jockey positions for the duration of the nap. Each dog trying to get the closest to the human napper.
My husband can sleep thru this competition.
I cannot.
Which is why I choose to nap on the couch.
Less room for dogs, more room for me.
It's true.
We live our lives trying to outsmart our dogs.
Especially at nap time.

The year in review

I hope this year is the year! The year, you ask?
Yes. The year.
The year that Rocco stops his destructive puppy habits, and grows into a kindler, gentler dog.
Let's recap last years' events, shall we?

Rocco chewed up a dresser...

But I saved the best for last.
Remember when he chewed up the feather top mattress cover? The next day we had to use a leaf vacuum to pick up all the feathers....

What a year! And Rocco lived through it. Actually, WE lived through it!
Here's hoping for a BETTER 2008.

Happy New Year!

I have been trying to take these pictures for the past few weeks. Unfortunately for you, this is the best of the bunch. Or should I say "bunches".
Rocco and Molly just don't like anything on their heads. Especially Happy New Year headbands.
We wish each of you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
