    Thanks for the kind words, Oz! We lost our 12 year old black lab BJ to lymphoma in March, and Rocky is a rescue from Country Club Kennels in Catlett, VA. While he has successfully acclimated to his new home, he came to us with very little leash and social training. But we are making progress!! He has learned to ignore bunnies and squirrels, is great with people, but can be a handful when we meet other dogs -- we can't tell if he is overexcited or overly aggressive. So if you have seen us walking in B'Lands North, and Rocky loses his cool when approaching your dog, I apologize in advance! We'll keep working with him.

    "Making new friends" was sort of tongue-in-cheek, although he has met MrLinux, SarasMom, and Sara.

    Redon, I would love to have him meet your JRT, but I don't think we are "there" yet. Maybe down the road...thanks for the offer!
