the horns of ames

Rocco Di Horn

So for those of you that don't know, we have a new family member.

My mom raises Doberman Pinschers and for Christmas, they gave us a fawn Dobberman. We named him Rocky (boxing reference? Maybe.), but his AKC registered name is Rocco Di Horn. Nice and Italian, don't ya think?

He's getting along quite well, except Eli doesn't really appreciate being attacked with puppy bites very much. :-) If Rocky gets after him, he falls to the ground in a fetal position to protect himself. It's very humorous, although it probably shouldn't be. Maybe we're just bad parents. :-)

I just had to go get a shoe out of his mouth. Typical puppy. He's already 14 pounds (our Boston Terrier is 16), and he's expected to get to over 100 lbs. It'll be different for us to have a big dog like that. He and Harley just got done with a 20 minute wrestle fest. Finally Harley had enough and when Harley has enough, game's over. She'll be smaller, but she'll always be the boss.

I'll post a few pictures we have of him, even though they are from before the snow, so they aren't THAT recent. Check the photo gallery for more...
