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...

At a football game...

Yesterday was very exciting, my Mama took me to an american football game and that was so intersting!

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.

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?

The ribbon!

I don't know, I was pretty bored lately! I think spring is coming, because I have so much energy in the evenings. Today my Mama was working and I didn't know what else to do so I found that roll of purple ribbon to wrap presents with. Wow - I had so much fun tearing it apart...

The first four pictures are a bit blurry, because I was still "working" on the ribbon and throwing that thing right and left around my head. But in the last two pics you can see me when I "finalized" my work.

Am I not pretty?

Thanks Mama for taking these picture,

I love you,

Yours Rocki.

Ouch...

Yesterday I had so much fun in our neighbor's yard, I was running on the fence with another neighbor's dog and was digging up a mouse hole. But these damn roots in the ground were in the way, so I unfortunately tore off my thumb claw - OUCH...

My Mama went with me to the doctor and now I am proudly wearing this bandage, and it doesn't hurt any more at all.

The bandage does not bother me at all, I still have fun nibbling on my stuff 

Me in our neighbor's yard, sitting next to the other neighbor's dog - waiting to start running with "Lila" again.

I am so photogenic :-)

On this week's sighthound meeting (the 3rd one with the new crowd) I finally could run with them - at least a little bit, before all these crazy girlies were all over me again.

They took some real good photos of me - watch the great slideshow on the website of  "Windhundfreunde Oberfranken"!

Me - the defensive, shy boy between all the girlies trying to look innocent :-)

Tststs, watching those crazy girls...

Iiiiieeek - she is after me again...

Aaaaah, now they're all (eeehm, 3 of the 10)  after me again...

Yeah - ruuuunnnning!!!

  But make sure you watch the slideshow (open one pic, then you will start it automatically), you will find many more photos there...

PS: I love my Mama, she does so much new and great stuff with me!

Slowly becoming a member of the new pack...

Yesterday my Mama brought me again to a dog party of the Windhundfreunde Oberfranken. We were at a new private huge yard where the nice people have 3 Salukis, another sighthound breed. Three men, I was so happy not to have only the girlies from last Thursday around.

And one of the Salukis actually fell in love with me: Sepehr

We had so much fun playing with each other and I finally could run a bit without the girlies trying to hunt me down. I believe I slowly become a member of this pack.


And the best of all: the horse dung there tasted really delicious!

See all photos from yesterdays dog party as a slide show.

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
