Chris and Aida are in Bosnia visiting family so we offered to take care of Rocky so he doesn't have to stay in a kennel for so long. We are keeping Rocky Saturday to Saturday. Day 4 of 8..... almost half-way there.
Oh, boy.... this has been quite some time. Rocky is a handful. I am not use to having a big dog around and it changes everything. I am constantly bracing myself afraid that at any minute I'll be tackled to the ground by Rocky. But I do love him. A big problem is Rafa. He constantly wants to play with his cousin Rocky and won't take no for an answer. He'll climb on Rocky's back, hump Rocky's leg (should he even be humping at 3 months?), and eat Rocky's food. We are taking Rocky and Rafa on walks at night. Sunday night was Rafa's first walk. He did reallly well. I thought we'd have to carry him half way through but he just kept on chasing after Rocky the entire time. I have been walking Rocky in the morning right before I go to work. My hope is that this will tire him out and he won't mind being in his crate all day but I know he is excited when we get home and he can run and play in the yard. One nice thing about his crate is that it is a safe haven from Rafa (as long as he is locked in b/c Rafa loves laying in Rocky's crate).
Saturday was the annual Madison County Democratic Reunion. I brought Rafa with me and he played with lots of fellow Democrats (and 2 other Democratic dogs) while I worked the event. I also got some photos to put on the MCD website but I'll share a few with you:
And the best for last. My cute little boy:
Saturday night we went over to Lucas's boss's house. I met Chris and his girlfriend Brittney and some of their coworkers and friends. We had a great time and I really enjoyed meeting them. I hope we get to hang out more. I did get into a pretty heated political debate with one of the guys who was there. I kept trying to get out of it but everyone kept pushing us on. We had to settle our differences afterwards with a drink then take a friendly picture together. You can see here that I still haven't let it go. Also, here is a really good picture of Chris and Brittney.
Sunday was a little yucky outside but we did get a few things accomplished. I did our laundry then we hung up blinds in our living room. Yay! It looks so good.
I have had a busy week so far between Rocky and work and it is only Tuesday. Tomorrow is going to be an exceptionally busy day. We have our Chamber luncheon tomorrow. I have to help work an event for one of our clients from 4 to 6. I have a tennis match at 7:30. Lucas has soccer at 5:30. I might recruit mom to come check on Rafa and Rocky tomorrow afternoon. So mom, if you are reading this, thank you in advance. :)
