Rocco!

Our little bundle of joy arrived yesterday, and after much discussion we decided that Prosciutto just didn't suit him well enough. We agreed that Rocco felt much better, and had the requisite two syllables that a dog name seems to require. It also suits the boyfriend's Madonna obsession.

He took to his crate right away, and is possibly the most gentle, snuggly little beast I have ever met. He doesn't chew, or bark, or jump, or beg. He's easy on the leash and loves to walk around making immediate friends with everyone who stops to admire him. He slept in our bed last night and never made a peep. In other words, we just won the puppy lottery. More schmaltzy dog-blogging TK!

Oy, that is way too cute for words. And yes, Rocco works better; it has that vaguely-threatening Italian street thug air about it that will sound cooler and more imposing when you call him ("Hey Rocco! C'mere, ya mug!").

He's adorable!!! So damn cute.

I have a foster kitty I'm about to adopt. My 18-year-old cat Shadow passed away in October.

If you behave like responsible guardians he will change your lives in ways small and huge and every single one of those changes will be for the better and make you happier people.

Congrats.

Thanks. It's only been two weeks and I've already glimpsed the truth in what you say, Scott. There was a well-hidden stockpile of maternal instincts buried deep in my psyche, apparently. I haven't seen this many 8 am's since I stopped pulling 72 hour weekends.
