We're in love with these two.  There's no way to get around it.  Every since we brought them home last June 5th, they have given us so much affection and plenty of things to laugh about.  We enjoy watching them play with one another.  They are frisky and funny, a perfect combination. 

Although the plan had been to get one Cockapoo, when we found out that a little runt still needed a home we thought he might just as well be ours. 

So instead of just getting Linda (aka Jelly Bean...she gets a little jealous if "he's" on our lap and up she comes) so we opened our hearts to Rocky (aka Somebody...when he does something wrong, Jim, the big daddy, always says "Somebody did something.").  It's never Lindy or me that did it but he seems reluctant to name Rocky.

These two sad sacks are really happy pups, they are simply exhausted.  After all, the two big labs that have a second home next door to us here at Lake Anna, came down today to do a little romping in the woods and swimming in the lake.  Jelly Bean and Somebody had to remind them who really owned this part of the universe.  Unfortunately it took some time to get the message across (don't tell them, but I don't think they were ever successful).

Rocky is adorable.  Rocky is funny looking.  Rocky is unfathomable.  Rocky is our baby boy.  Rocky is driving me crazy.  Rocky is confused.  Rocky has me confused. 

We love Rocky.  Rocky loves us.

Caught some pictures of the pups experiencing their first snow.  The decided right away that it tasted good which made it hard to get any pictures of their faces.   Actually Rocky kept his back end towards the camera most of the time so I only got a couple of shots of him and several more of Lindy.

Here's pretty Lindy getting a good look.

I love Lindy's curly tail.

Rocky's one face shot.  He's mixing his usual diet of pebbles with something new, a little snow.

Rocky needs equal time so here's his back shot.

It really does not look as though Lake Anna is going to receive that much snow this time but it is fun to be at home, watching football (good for The College of William and Mary...they won their playoff game 24-3), and enjoying the warmth inside while looking out at the lake through the snowflakes.

Buddies...Wordless Wednesday

Yes, Susan, I have a gift for you.  You have asked not once, not twice, but I believe at least three times for photos of our "new" puppies.  New is in quotes simply because we have had them for three months now.  I cannot believe that Susan hasn't gotten her Uncle Louie or Big Sal or Guido to give fme a little nudge but I began to think I better not risk wasting any more time.

In honor of your 50th birthday I am sharing photos of JJ's cousins, Lindy and Rocky.

Here is Lindy...also known as Wicked Wendy.  She is a very domineering young lady.  There is no question who is boss between this duo.  This photo was taken on the first day we brought her home.  She was eight weeks old at the time. 

Lindy is actually a very bright pup.  She picks up on words quickly and responds beautifully...when she wants too.  Told you she was a tough cookie.

I had wanted a buff colored female cockapoo with big dark eyss so I put my name on a wait list in February and paid a deposit.  On April 14th Lindy was born and so was Rocky.  There were 22 pups in all from three litters. 

Most of the pups were taken right away.  Others, like me, had paid deposits and were on the wait list. However, one little pup was not taken.  He was the runt, definitely the smallest of all, weighing onlly  4 oz.  Day after day I would look at that web site and there was the runt still available.  One day I suggested to my husband that we should take him also.  Well, he now resides at Lake Anna with us and we are as much in love with him as we are with Lindy.

Now, it is much harder to see Rocky's face especially his eyes because he is darker.  He was black when he was born but is turning gray (believe me, if we weren't gray already he would have turned our hair gray).  It has been fun to see his color change.  Now only the tips of his curls (yes, he's pretty curly) are black plus his muzzle.

Rocky has an assortment of names.  He is also known as Brando (after Marlon Brando in The Wild One) because he is wild.  I wanted to change his name but my husband resisted.  He is also known as Wacky Willie, Wiggle Worm,  Mannie the Maniac, Mr. Beady (he has small, beady eyes) and a few other fitting names.

Susan, we are deeply in love with both of these critters.  We enjoy their antics (most of the time) and find that they are providing us with hours and hours of entertainment. 

One of these days I will post some pictures taken when they were a little bit older.

Has JJ asked for a playmate or does he prefer having you all to himself?
