Once again I have been amazed at how smart Rocky is. For the past year and a half Rocky and I have had a little morning routine. I get a cup of coffee and watch the morning news. During this time Rocky climbs into my lap (it only hurts to have 87 lbs in your lap for a few minutes then my legs go numb) and gets 10-15 minutes of adoration. I hug, pet, kiss him while whispering in his ear that he is in fact the smartest and most beautiful dog in the world and assure him that I will love him forever. About a week ago our puppy, Lucy decided to get her share of the love. She nudged her way in between me and Rocky (yes they were both on my lap). Rocky jumped down, went to the toy box, dug to the bottom and found Lucy's favorite squeeky hamburger toy. He brought it over, squeeked it to get her attention. We she jumped down to get the toy (she must always have what he has) he calmly climbed back into my lap and resumed lovin' time. The first day I did not think much of this but it happens everyday now. I can hardly believe that this "dog" has reasoned out a plan to prevent Lucy from honing in on his special time with me. I am sorry this is so long, but I had to brag about how smart my boy is and how sweet that he doesn't get mad at Lucy just figured a way for everyone to be happy.

Wonderful story. Cami also never ceases to amaze us with her astonishing mind.
We are quite used to spelling certain words around her and seem to be adding more daily. One of her many boyfriends is named King. So we have resorted to spelling King because if she hears it she goes crazy looking for him. The other night I acutally spelled K-I-N-G and she new what I had spelled and went crazy looking for him as if I actually just said his name.
I think that she is secretly taking an online spelling class when we leave the house!!!
On a side note, the cat knows that when Cami rings the bell that she is going outside. The cat now will ring the bell when she wants Cami out of the house.

Beau does a similar thing to Samantha. When she is eating (he has already inhaled his food), he will look out the window and start barking. Samantha, of course, will run to the window and bark. Meanwhile, Beau sneaks a few mouthfuls of food out of her dish!!
Smart, aren't they??
