Wonderful new pictures

We have a new friend at our greyhound meetings and he takes the most beautiful pictures from me that I have ever seen!

Thank you, Michael Fiedler!

Rocki at home...

And Rocki playing with his buddy Jack

Grandma's visit

Last week my grandma came to visit me (my Mama's Mom, the one who calls me granddog). She brought great grandma (my Mama's granny) and her dog Tara. We had so much fun playing in my huge yard. And since it was very hot we also used the new doggy pool my Mama bought for me, especially Tara went crazy in it. See yourself, especially the video is funny...

My new half-day buddy

My Mama decided that my big yard is too big to be used by myself only and she also means that I am too lazy being alone in this yard all the time. So she offered to be a dog sitter for when other people are at work.
So this is my new buddy Jack. A still 4 month old pinscher.

Jack

Jack may even chew on my bone.

... but I am watching him closely

Jack can clean my ears pretty good.

And in this video you see how crazy Jack is, accidents can happen when playing with this little one...

But over all it is quite funny when Jack is with me. His Mama brings him every morning during the week and picks him up early afternoon again.

But honestly, I am quite jealous, but MY Mama is doing a good job by not preferring the little dog, but still loving me the most.

Yours Rocki

New videos from Rocki - also some funny stuff...

Finally my Mama got a new camera. Her old one as well as her cell phone broke. She is trying to take interesting videos from me, but please bare with her, she is still learning :-)

This is where my Mama brings me to several times a week to go for a loooong walk. I love this place, you can run and run and run and also make lots of dog-friends.

I am hunting birds

Here I am making friends and I can't believe Mama caught me while I tried to "mark" my friends owners with some of my "odor". Very funny...

And I also can take a bath during that long walk and drink some water. The river is called "Red Main".

Here I am visiting my little friend "Penelope". I lover her yard, it is big and I may play with her toys. It is great to beat that thing around my head :-)

These times will thank God be over soon. You see me here securing my terrace, when it was still fenced in because the big fence around the huge yard is still missing. Very soon my Mama promised...

Isn't my Mama just great?

Yours Rocki

New friends in the new home

Yesterday my Mama brought me to another Sighthound meeting near my new hometown. Mama found them on the website http://www.windhundfreunde-oberfranken.de

I had a pretty hard start there, the complete group knows each other since 2 years, so they were all over me, hunting me and even trying to bite me. But I guess that's normal when you are the single man between all these girlies (yes, all but 1 other poor male are girls) and want to join their group. It took over an hour until I tried a few steps away from my Mama, but then it became better and better. Just real running I couldn't do, because then they were all over me again.

Well, Mama said we will keep meeting those crazy ones so that I will belong to their group soon, she said there will be the next meeting on Sunday.

You can also take a look at all the other pictures from yesterday with that nice slideshow that you can access on their webpage: All photos with slidewhow

Thank you again, Gabi and her crew,
yours Rocki

I am playing

My Mama took a first video from me, she told me it is only a very "shitty" old camera and so the quality is really bad, but you can see how I mess up Mama's living room and love to play between her laundry :-)

Rocki on vacation V - good days

I have found new friends!
The really nice neighbor at my Mama's Dad's summer house invited me to come into her yard with a very good fence to run around without a leash. What a fun that is!!!

The 3 dogs from the neighbor stayed in the house first, we made a slow start... But it did not even take 5 min starting with the girlie dog to friend them. Even the alpha male became my friend very quickly.

Now I can be in that yard every day when my Mama is having a cup of coffee with the really nice neighbor and I can run - AND - clean up the neighbors house :-)
My 3 new friends have so many toys in the house where I think these need to be outside - so I am carrying them outside, one by one...

And I don't know what's wrong with Mama and the neighbor??? Every time I carry something new outside they start cracking up and almost falling under the table laughing. I don't know, they must have gotten a sunstroke or so... 

I think it looks really good with all these blankies and toys in the yard, I really love arranging this nest every day!

And in the evening when walking back to Mama's Dad's summerhouse we start relaxing. Unfortunately there is no couch or so, only 1 armchair. But it seems like I am not supposed to sit up there, my Mama has put all this firewood n'stuff on it, so I wouldn't jump on it (I guess her Dad doesn't want that nice chair to become muddy from my feet).
But I still made it! There was not much room on it left, but yes - I made it :-)



Good days, what a vacation!
Yours Rocki

FIFA Worldcup 2011

I am prepared, I will watch all games with Mama!

No flowers and plants for Mama this year

Finally this week Mama made our patio "Rocki-safe".
Yes it is on the 2nd floor, but on the side of the house you could kind of walk up from the street - also meaning I could run down there and escape.

Wow, I am really enjoying it to have the terrace door open the whole day and I can go in and out when I want. It is not big, but I can watch "my" street and bark at people.

And I guess Mama will not have any flowers on her terrace this year *blush*

Comment from Mama:

This is what it used to look like in former years...

The Mail-Man made my Mama laugh!

Mama made me a very big surprise this week: She ordered a lot of stuff from Zooplus for me to try - to eat and to play!

When the doorbell rang we heard this loud noise in the stairway and we could see downstairs how our nice packet mail man was trying to pull his sack barrow with this HUGE box upstairs. Then we heard him scream: Mam, you are beating up the mail-man!
People - I have never seen my Mama laugh that much!

And then we started unpacking!

So many toys! Yippieh!

Besides my "ducky" that I already had, I love the plush bunny the most!

The hippo and the pig squeak and grunt!
Very suspect still...

I love my new bunny
... and not so much Mama's shoes any more.

I am so proud of my new bunny!

Yawning - getting tired, but making sure my bunny is with me!

Yes, I am sleeping with my bunny!

This grunting pig really is very suspect to me :-)

You see, I am doing very good in my fostering home and I love my Mama more and more!
Yours Rocky

I love Nibbling

Since I am "nibbling" on myself quite a lot (I even got some bald spaces in my fur) my Mama decided to bring me to my favorite shop "Fressnapf" again, where I could pick myself a very nice toy. It should of course also by a little furry and I picked one with a squeaker.

Now I love nibbling on my doggy-fur-duck, but I must admit that I am a little afraid, when I actually touch the squeaker - it makes me jump up every time.

But I am really happy with my new ducky toy!

Thanks Mama,
yours Rocki
