Rocket at 5 months old had a talent at playing with real soccer balls. She discovered a soccer ball at a nearby high school, and the family were playing with it, and so she decided to join in, and that's where her love of soccer started! #puppytalent #doglife #soccer
Rocket wasn't a fan of windy days, but she didnt allow it to stop her from exploring and nibbling on leaves. #heelerpuppy
Rocket first bath of 2022!
Happy 2022! With the new year, Rocket had her first bath of the year. When Rocket was a puppy she required tons of treats to stay still during a bath, now she jumps right in with the words "go to bath."
Leaves and ball is Rocket's favorite combination. #rocket #heeler #happydog #autumn #leaves
Skunk Invasion
Rocket explains what happened last night when she decided to chase a puffy-tailed cat. Rocket typically is good if you tell her "no chase". She'll stop mid into a chase and walk back. Last night we didn't tell her no chase as it was late at night and she wanted to go outside. Unfortunately, we weren't aware that a skunk was just around the corner. Rocket had her first skunk encounter with a close spray to her face. Just like any dog, she was confused and scared of the incident and ran for cover inside the house. She now knows what the word skunk means.
After bathing in baking soda, dish soap, and a little hydrogen peroxide most of the smell dissipated from Rocket's fur. The house still smells like skunk, though! Have you encountered a skunk with your pet before? Let us know what you did!
