Rocco's Newest Fan

Rocco's 6-year old cousin, Miss Emma E., is Rocco's newest fan. Rocco would like to thank Emma for reading his blog, and promises her that he will have many silly pictures to make her laugh.
And he also wants to wish her a Happy Birthday this month.
Welcome Emma!

Crockpot update

We are happy to report that the crockpot remained untouched by Rocco.
But it was not due to the architecturally challenged barricade that I constructed.
It was because Rocco is petrified of the baby gates. Because when they fall over, they make such a loud crash that it scares him to death.
Yes, our big, giant Rocco boy is afraid. And he is big enough to knock those gates over, or just jump over them.
But shhhhhh, don't tell Rocco.

Crockpot Cooking with Rocco

First, check the time.
For the record, this was 5:57am just before I left for work this morning.


Arrange your ingredients in the crockpot, paying special attention to the large dog eyeing up the corned beef and cabbage.


Place your crockpot on a safe surface. Again, paying special attention to the dog watching the crock pot.


Put the crock pot on low setting for 8-10 hours, then MOVE the crockpot as far away from the large dog as possible.


Begin to assemble your crockpot diversions.
In this case, I used dishes.


Then stack the baby gates.
Here is the first one.


Then a second baby gate to secure the first baby gate, as the large dog is afraid of baby gates.


Finish securing the crock pot with (2) 30-lb bags of dog food at each end of the table, paying special attention to the large dog looking at the crockpot diversions.


Step back to admire your handiwork, only to discover that you were in fact NOT paying special attention to the large dog, who has now taken the empty corned beef wrapper off the counter.


Finally, go to work and spend the day praying that the large dog stays away from crock pot and behaves himself today.
