Well everyone,meet Rocky.

Wow 5 years... Hard to believe how fast time goes.
Today is a giant milestone!

11 years ago today he was in the truck coming home.
He continues to surprise me.
Have a kid with the flu last night, and every time she vomited Rocky would go outside through the dog door he only goes through if he's super desperate. His old hips just dont like it. Apparently it makes him nervous her vomiting as he know this isnt normal operating procedure, lol.

At about 1:30am i closed off the dog door as I'd have to go find him in the dark and get him to come in and lay down.
20 minutes later she started again and again Rocky gets up headed towards the door but cant get out.
At the same time I'm helping the kid get it out, throw away the trash can liner, get her settled and Rocky is nowhere to be found???

The old guy trucked it upstairs!
Its been a year since he's done the stairs, and before that another year and a half. He blew my mind. So i took hid bed up there and let him just be, he stayed up the rest of the night till about 05:30 when the wife came down to go to work. He really wanted in the bedroom but door was closed and she needed to sleep for the 12 hour shift she has today.
He made it down without nose diving or ass end giving out but was apprehensive about taking the first step down.

He's getting close to 13 years old now, a mind bender on its own.
 
Aww I'm so glad to hear he's still chipper!

I hope your daughter starts feeling better soon too.

PS, you need to get a new phone for Christmas so you can come back on a regular basis. ;)
 
What a milestone! Well done Rocky and hope the sick littlun gets well soon. Amazing how sensitive our dogs are to anything amiss with their people. 🥰
 
Good boy, Rocky! How great that he's feeling so good! Even if it's to get away from the sick one! 🤭 I hope she's feeling better soon. That's a lot of throwing up.😞 Make sure she has her fluids!
