Rocky's Arrival

The day has finally arrived, and our new puppy Rocky is here! He's a really sweet little guy! He's very content to sleep in your arms, but he can become very spunky when he's on the ground with Macy! We arranged the first meeting between Macy & Rocky to take place at a nearby park. Macy was interested in Rocky, but she was much more interested in hunting the surrounding area! :P Serena, on the other hand, was immediately infatuated with this new little creature. She stared and laughed and crawled up to him and pet him and pat him and laughed some more! It was so funny! After a bit, we drove home and let everyone play in our yard. Macy was much more interested in Rocky at home, and they got a lot of playtime in together. Rocky was so funny because as much as he loved playing with Macy and Serena, he was very easily distracted with everything else (i.e., leaves, twigs, Serena's toes, etc.).

We've been teaching Serena how to pet Macy, and it paid off today when she pet Rocky so nicely! However, since Rocky is still so little, Serena wants to pick him up! In the top left picture, she was trying to pick him up around the neck; in the top right, she had just picked him up by the scruff and lifted him out of the kennel and then she sat there laughing and petting him!

Rocky following Serena across the yard. "Hey! Let me chew on your toes! They look really squishy!"

Serena was so excited and wound up, she hardly quit 'talking'! You can really see the excitement in her face in this picture!

I just really liked these shots! :)
