g this snow stuff! I definitely loved running outside, chasing sticks and smelling smells before, but the snow makes it even more fun to be out and about! And when it just gets too cold to stay outside any longer, I love to cuddle up inside with a good bone and my foster fur brother and foster parents. In fact, snuggling up or playing with my foster fur brother is one of my favorite things. He's a few years older than me though, and sometimes I think I annoy him because I've got a lot of energy. He's certainly helping me learn how to respect boundaries for dogs of all ages, but I bet I'd especially love a home with dogs closer to my age and/or energy level. Even though I think human babies are awesome, my foster parents think I would do best in a home with older kids - I'm just a little pup and boy oh boy, do I love chewing on all the things, including human fingers and toes! I'm working really hard to only chew on appropriate stuff, but sometimes I forget and start to chew on hands or furniture...I'm really good at going back to my toys when someone reminds me though! I'm working really hard on my chewing, but guys, I'm really proud of myself because I just learned the command "sit"! I love learning new things, it's really fun and I'm pretty good at it! I'm potty-trained too - I even know how to wait by the door to tell everyone I need to go out. Of course, I'm really little so I might still potty inside, but everyone has accidents every now and again, right? I’ve never have an accident in my kennel though. I sleep through the night in there and am getting used to spending a few hours during the day in my kennel too. I don't remember much about my life before my foster parents, but sometimes I get nervous when other dogs come near me when I'm eating or playing with a toy I really like. Maybe other dogs tried to take these things from me in the past?? I just don't know, but I DO know I need to find forever parents who will commit to helping me be less afraid in these situations. My foster parents and fur brother are helping me with it now, but I think it'll take a little bit of time until I'm totally over it. I love giving kisses, sharing cuddles, and spending time outside too. Really, I'll be happy doing whatever my forever parents want, whether it's snuggling on the couch, going for a walk downtown, or running along some woodsy trails! Whatever the activity is, I just can't wait to start spending time with my forever family! Rocky is sponsored by Elizabeth Kibler as a gift to Matt Guest.
