The Comfort Zone

We have a futon in our spare room. When it's open, it's a full sized mattress. We keep it open for the dogs, with the intention that they would use it. Thus allowing us to sleep in our bed.
Rocco occasionally uses it. The key word here is OCCASIONALLY.
He will nap after a long afternnon of eating something he's not supposed to, as illustrated by this picture taken earlier this week.
Yep. Another chewed roll of toilet paper is visable on the floor of this picture.


And here is Rocco napping on our bed the same day.


Um, which one does he look more comfortable using?
The answer is, of course, the WRONG bed.

It's quite comical, actually

...that Rocco's newest fan club is the Toilet Paper Posse.
And we all know how much Rocco adores toilet paper.
And the ladies.


Rocco's fan club spent last weekend spreading Rocco's joy all around our life.
In the snow.
In February.

They decorated our little tree....


They decorated our landscapping...


They decorated my car...


They decorated themselves with t-shirts that read "That's how I roll", featuring the logo of a roll of toilet paper.
OK, we bought those for the girls.
But they wore them.

Well, we wore them too...


Because we are all just Rocco groupies, aren't we?

Oh, and a quick note to the Toilet Paper Posse. I have one word for you.
Payback.
I'm just saying.

Paging Dr. Rocco......

Rocco LOVES band-aids. I have a band-aid covered papercut on my finger that he is fixated with it.
So I didn't blame Molly when I walked into the living room to find this...


Since the evidence seems to be stuck to ROCCO'S face and not Molly's, the case was closed.




Although she certainly looks guilty, doesn't she?

Another one bites the dust

This time, it was my winter glove. I am missing the middle finger (appropriate, huh?), the side was eaten and the elastic wrist band was torn off.
All this by Rocco this afternoon.
Oh, and it's 5 degree's right now.
And I'm sure there's not much of a supply of fashionable winter gloves in mid February in Chicago.
So next week if you see a scowling woman, wearing yellow polka dot accented neon mittens, that's probably me.
Please stop to say hello.
Or maybe not.

Rocco has a new cousin!

Baby Jeff was born January 30th, approximately 3-1/2 months early. He is a strong little guy, just over 2-lbs. I love this picture....he's just chillin'.
Although he won't be home until he gets a little bigger, Baby Jeff is going to give Rocco a run for his money. With his long legs, he'll be chasing Rocco all over.
Poor Rocco. He has no idea.
Congratulations Jeff & Nicole!
