PET OF THE WEEK

Name: Rocky

Breed: Saint Bernard

Weight: 35lbs

Age: 13 weeks

Home: Portland, Maine

Best Friend: Jill Frost

Rocky

Hobbies: Sleeping, playing with my other dog, barking for attention, tugging on his rope and exploring the coast (he likes to "wade").

Rocky is my new puppy. I had him shipped to me from a breeder on the east coast. When he arrived he was tired but real friendly. I have had him for only three weeks but we have become best friends! He loves to sleep wherever it is cold.

So far he has been very good. I followed APA's advice on training and he is already house trained! He never chews anything but his toys and an occasional box corner. He is a great dog.

If you would like to write me about Rocky or your dog or cat, just go to the feedback form and APA will forward the message to me!
