The Adventures of Honey and Rocky

08/26/2023

Rocky got an "indestructible" bear. It remained "indestructible" for less than an hour. Rocky took care of that toy, and proved them wrong.

Ok, my heart is melting. Honey is laying on the couch. Rocky decides he wants to come up and cuddle with my husband, with very little room for him. Well Rocky hops up and is pushing against Honey. Honey hasn't even flinched, no response from her at all. Rocky is laying there totally unphased. However let one of the other pups so much as have a toenail touch her, Honey growls and barks and gets all bent out of shape. But if it's Rocky it's not a problem for her. The bond between these 2 is remarkable. I really wish I knew there history. Did they know each other before ARI? Did they first meet at ARI, or did they meet when they were strays? How did they establish such a strong bond? I know I'll never know, but watching the bond is heartwarming. ❤️

Great news for Rocky! His thyroid test came back normal! So for now we are just going to monitor the hair loss and see how it goes from there.

Honey, Honey, Honey! If you ever need a good laugh, spend time with Honey. Today we gave all the pups a treat. Very quickly the dog beds were taken before Honey could secure one. So she decided to jump on the furniture, and that was NOT going to happen. She was not going to eat on my furniture, so we shewed her off the furniture. Well she kept walking around checking each dog bed, trying to get on the furniture, all while holding the treat in her mouth and drooling. She refused to just be a normal dog, and just eat the darn treat. She needed to have a "comfortable" place to enjoy it, and the other dogs were savoring their treats in the dog beds. After much wandering and disappointment on Honey's part, my husband decided that he'd let her outside with the treat. She found a spot in the grass where she got comfortable and was finally able to get comfortable and enjoy her treat. She is such a character! She makes us laugh all the time! This girl needs her comfort! . .

So Rocky went to the vet today to further investigate his hair loss. They did an in-house thyroid test to test for hypothyroid. Well the in-house test came back low. They said that because the in-house test came back positive they needed to send a sample out to be further tested. The result should be back next week. Hopefully it comes back normal, but also I hope we can get an answer to his hair loss. Fingers crossed we get some answers next week.

So some good news on Rocky! The vet got the test results back on Rocky and he does NOT have ringworm. Yay!

The vet stated she thinks he has this disease, which I can't remember the name of, but she said it's that the glands in his tail are enlarged and compressing the hair follicles which causes him to lose the hair on his tail. She stated the hair loss on his body she's thinking is hypothyroidism. He's going in Friday for a preliminary test, and depending on those results will determine the next steps. Until then, we have wipes that we wipe the hair loss areas with each day. (Pic just for attention. )

Rocky and Honey went to Doggy Daycare at Waghouse and had such a fun time! I think this will become a routine fun activity for them each week. Look at those smiling faces. They both came home happy and tired. Richard Hunsinger

My husband posted this on his page, and I love it! So I thought I'd share here.

"Our human captors have discovered our plans to try and catch the groundhog that lives under the shed. Our chief engineer on this project, Riley, suggested we dig a moat around it. He also said, that in order to evade detection, we should only dig on the back side. I told him this wouldn't work, as in order for a moat to work, it must completely surround the shed. I then handed the project off to one of the two young brothers on the team, Harpo, who enlisted the help of his brother, Mushu. Their plan was to dig numerous holes throughout the yard, in hopes that the groundhog might step in one and break its leg. Therefore, after much discussion, I conferred with my co-leader, Honey, and we both concluded that the three of them are complete idiots."
Signed,
Rocky.

I forgot to post this yesterday.

Usually my husband gets my son up at 6 am and my son feeds the dogs. Well yesterday my husband had to leave at 4:30 am, and did not get my son up that early. Well about 8:30 am, I'm sleeping and I'm awakened by my bedroom door sounding like it's been bumped. So I roll over, and try to get back to sleep, when a few minutes later I hear the same thing, like someone accidentally bumped into my bedroom door. Again, I ignore it, and try to go back to sleep. A few minutes go by, and then I hear scratching at my door. So I proceed to get up, and before I can get to the door, more scratching at the door. I open the door to see Rocky at my door, and he looks at me and runs to the kitchen. I look down the hall, and there is Honey peaking around the corner watching everything. Meanwhile Rocky is running from me to the kitchen back and forth. It was almost like Honey told Rocky you go knock on the door, and I'll be down here watching in case you have any trouble. It really made me laugh. Needless to say, they were fed, and were very happy after finishing. They are still best buddies no matter what, and are always looking out for each other. ❤️.

Honey doesn't warm up to playing with new dogs easily. It takes her a while to trust other dogs. The only other dog she's really ever played with for an extended period of time is Rocky...her best buddy! Well today Mu-Shu won her over. They played for a long time, and Honey thoroughly enjoyed herself, as seen in these pics. Enjoy!

Well we just got back from Dog Days in the Park, and the pups had a great time! Rocky proved not to be a kisser, as he didn't even give one kiss. Then for the clean your plate, we found out that Rocky doesn't like marshmallows. Who knew? The pups did see a lot of their friends from Animal Rescue there, and that was great. Friends, if you got any pictures of the pups, can you please share them with me. TIA.

Getting prepared for Dog Days in the Park. Rocky is warming up his tongue for the kissing contest and the clean your plate contest. The competition needs to watch out for Rocky. He is a tough competitor! If we stay late enough, Honey may enter the peanut butter contest. Looking forward to fun times!

We put one bed on top of the other so we could move some things. Rocky felt it was a good idea to take advantage of the comfort 2 beds offers. Love that Rock dog!

My son was working on training his dog Riley. Well Rocky decided he wanted in on the training. Rocky was not taking no for an answer, he was determined to participate. Honey sat in on the lesson, but didn't participate. Rocky is a good student! They make me laugh!

We are in full thunderstorm mode. Honey with dad drooling, panting, and shaking. Rocky on mom's lap hanging on for dear life in fear of the storms. Poor puppers!
