<p class=MsoNormal>My Rocky, aka Puddin’ Paws, is absolutely a
Romeo. His past antics have included floating over his 4 ft fence
as if it wasn’t there, in order to play with a female pit bull running
loose in my yard. (She was being pet-sat by someone in the area, and
escaped from him, he recovered her within the hour) Rick couldn’t
figure how the Rockster got out, so he put him back in and watched. About
1 minute later, he just levitated over the fence again, clearing it by at least
a foot. Shocking but true! Ah, the things boys will do for love…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Another endearing thing is that he is a “gifter”.
When he is very happy to see you, he will grab a toy in his mouth, run to you,
and occasionally give it to you. Usually he just shows you his toy and
gets a rub down, then walks away to the next person for praise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now that the weather is better and the mosquitoes are not
very fierce, we can leave the back door open. Whoever is being “Special
boy”, or “Special girl” that evening gets to run in and out
as much as they want into the fenced portion of the yard. The other day
the neighbors Bichon Tiffany, (bratty little dog who is allowed to run
everywhere), was out barking at my fence. This happens multiple times a
day, and has become something of a game for them all. She runs up to the
fence barking, they run up to the fence barking, everyone has fun for a while,
then she goes home. I have always suspected that Rocky was in love with
her, and now I know it is true. She came up to the fence and Rocky ran
into the house, grabbed the biggest nylabone we have, showed it to both Daddy
and me, then ran outside with it and dropped it at the fence for Tiffany!
This is very funny, because she probably couldn’t even get her jaws
around it, let alone carry it! Of course she couldn’t reach it
because it was on our side of the fence. So, now it is confirmed that
Rocky is quite a flirt, and he really likes the girls! I guess that I
should have named him Romeo, or Cassinova. He really REALLY likes the
girls!<o:p></o:p></p>
