Rocco in Sacramento

Oh my goodness, Rocco had a blast while we were in Sacramento. Every day he played outside on the grass, played in his baby pool and played with the hose. He was in Heaven! He loves the water and spent hours outside in his pool. He would put his head all the way under to get his toys and he would eat the water while we would be filing the pool up! He was hilarious to watch! One day, Rocco had a play date with another bully named Gus. Gus is only 9 weeks old and quite a bit smaller than Rocco, but that didn't seem to stop either one of them from playing with each other. Gus is actually from the same breeder and Rocco is sort of a half-Uncle to Gus (Rocco's Dad is Gus' Grandpa, but they don't share common maternal sides). Here are some pic's of the event:













Here is a short video of Rocco in the water and then one of him playing with Gus: One last little story on Rocco - he almost drowned in the river while we were in Sacramento and Eric had to go in after him with his clothes on. For those who don't know much about bullies they normally don't swim, they just sink. But Rocco is not exactly the "normal" bulldog and he loves the water and swims pretty good... well, so we thought. We were not yet to the beach and he was hot - so, we let him get in on the side of the river where it drops off pretty quick. Of course, he headed straight out and kept going further. Meanwhile, we were screaming at him to come back. He finally decided to turn around, but by that time he was getting tired and he started to panic. Eric got to him when only his little head was sticking up - ten more seconds and he would have been under. You would think this would scare him, but oh no, he tried to go right back out minutes later! I don't know what I would do without this cute little boy around!

You need to change the beginning of this section. The first sentence says San Fran instead of Sacramento. Cute pix. I'm sad I wasn't home to have all that fun with you. Have fun in San Diego this weekend.

I can't believe Rocco almost drowned!! Sad. Good job Eric for saving him!! I love the pix of him and Gus. We will have to get together again next time you are in town!
