Tell us what you love most about Rocky?
➤ His very funny personality. He might seem standoffish at first, but he is really just assessing your vibe. He has preferred walking routes for each person in his life along with ongoing “dramas” with certain neighborhood dogs. He has strong opinions about when it is time for attention and will hop onto laps, tap my laptop to tell me to shut it and focus on him, or wedge himself between our legs to sleep.
What are a few of his favorite things?
➤ Rocky is a connoisseur of comfort and treats. He is extremely food motivated, especially when it comes to watermelon, and for reasons known only to him he also believes yoga mats are personal dog beds and will stretch out on them or bump into me during workouts as if he is offering stability coaching.
Does Rocky have any funny quirks?
➤ With new people, he will either huff at their treats or politely accept one only to spit it out dramatically. Trainers and groomers always say the same thing: He is not confused, he is stubborn, and he knows exactly what you are asking; he is simply deciding whether he feels like participating.
