These pictures were taken when Cathy, our neighbor, brought Rocky the puppy to our house for her second visit. Gwen inspected, people pampered, and Rocky stretched out on the floor for a post-meal nap.
Actually, we were all a little jealous of Rocky’s proximity to the floor. Sonoma hit 110+ degrees this afternoon and the hard floor is, by far, the coolest place in our house.
At three-weeks-old, Rocky keeps Cathy entertained with wobbly walking and her puppy howl. She needed rescuing after abandonment by her real mother. Cathy is her savior but she’ll get official parenting and canine guidance from a foster mom– a pitbull mix nursing ten of her own three-week-old pups. Rocky is nursing and learning all the appropriate dog behavior alongside some seriously happy pitbull babies; no one seems to mind the addition of the noisy shepherd-mix.
Welcome to the neighborhood.




Cute or what!, nice composition and color..
Laura! These pictures are delightful.
You are so talented! I can’t wait to be back in Sonoma with you and Jessie. Can we have a photography adventure… in the vineyards perhaps?
I’m putting your amazing website in my blogroll!
Love,
Chiara
