Rocky is laughing at me as I replace the undersized spare in the driveway after getting a flat at the airport returning from our B.C. trip.

Rocky likes to place fetch with a tennis ball in the backyard.

Lately at night Rocky has come to think that my bed is his bed.

Rocky has so many toys now that I put some up on this table so he can't get at them. But he figured that out right away and managed to get the ones that were near the edge of the table. Now I keep his spare toys in a box on this table.

Rocky has got into a chewing mode in the past month. Anything soft like pillows, comforters and, as shown here, my futon mattress! He chewed right through the fitted sheet to get at the mattress.

Rocky loves to play fetch with tennis balls in the house. When it goes under the sofa futon he can just barely get under it to retrieve the ball.

Sleeping on his bed in my office at home just before I had a brainstorm to lift his bed up so he could see out the window. You can see how much he has shed in this picture.

Looking out the window from his bed in my office on the 3rd floor of the house. Rocky jumps up onto this bed with no problem.
