MisAdventures of Rock$tar

Since this blog is about the adventures of Rocky and I, and since I haven't posted a Rocky adventure in a while I thought I would take the time to share an adventure from this morning. :)

So that you get the full picture let start with what happened last week.... Last Wednesday night I spent the evening mowing the lawn and making the back yard look all pretty! Thursday morning sometime while I was getting ready for work Rocky found a stuffed animal and decided to have a party with it in the backyard!

That little blue thing in the picture above is what was left of the bunny's pants and head...

So I spent a good 10-15 minutes cleaning stuffing from the backyard... GRRR!!!!

He knew he was in trouble the minute I opened the back door, look at that pitiful face :(! Don't let that face fool you, he was really proud of what he did!

Now that leads us to this morning... While I was in the shower I could hear him barking in the backyard, I thought it was one of the cats that walks the alley teasing him so I didn't think anything of it! As I walked through the kitchen to get something out of the dryer I noticed him rolling around on his back in the middle of the yard. :-/ hmmmm thats not good I thought! Means he is up to something and I was not looking forward to whatever it was!

When it was about time for me to leave I went out back to corral him in, but he wasn't wanting to leave his spot. So I started walking closer and saw something laying on the ground, my first thought was "Where the heck did he get another stuffed animal!?" I was just about to yell at him when I noticed it wasn't a "stuffed" animal at all..... It was a Baby POSSUM!!!

(Now before anyone gets upset, the baby possum was still alive and breathing when I left this morning.) I thought it was dead till I knelt down to take the picture and saw it was still breathing. According to Wikipedia:

"When threatened or harmed, they will "play possum", mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal. When playing possum, the lips are drawn back, teeth are bared, saliva foams around the mouth, and a foul-smelling fluid is secreted from the anal glands. The physiological response is involuntary, rather than a conscious act. Their stiff, curled form can be prodded, turned over, and even carried away. The animal will regain consciousness after a period of minutes or hours and escape."

But as you can see from the picture Rocky had been playing with it! His fur was all wet as if Rocky had been licking it! ewwww gross!!! My first fear was that Rocky had been bit so I thoroughly checked him out and there was not a scratch on him! whew! but tonight when I get home he and his bedding is getting a bath ASAP!!!


Needless to say this morning he was quite proud of himself! When I came out to see it, he was pouncing around all excited to show me his new friend! What a mess! I love this dog! <3

Well until next time...

Wordless Wednesday

Too much WORK not enough PLAY!

My Spring Break flew by WAY too fast! So this week its back to school for me... and what kind of welcome back do I get? OOOOHHHH Midterms!!! UGH!! The only one I'm really nervous about is SQL Server! I think I have about 6 weeks left of school which isn't too bad!
The garage sale went really well this weekend! I don't think we could have asked for better weather!! It was sunny and warm outside, but not too warm! I got a little sun burnt on my face Friday, but Saturday I tried to be good about keeping lotion on. I made pretty good money on the sale, so I'm not complaining!
The only thing I will complain about is that the 3 day weekend went by way too fast! I felt like I spent most of the weekend working instead of being able to enjoy it! Oh well there will always be more weekends! Easter Sunday was fun (I even didn't really mind FREEZING at the sunrise service Sunday morning!)! We all went back to Mom and Dad's after church for breakfast. We all started playing Wii and Lauren (my niece) was "roasting" us at bowling! It was hilarious! When my player wasn't doing what I wanted her to do Lauren told me that I just needed to get along with her and then she would help me win. Ha ha she is so cute!
Well my roommate stopped by the house Friday to get some more of her stuff to take to her parents house.... she wants to sell her bedroom set on craig's list and while we were talking about it I told her that even though she has moved most of her stuff out and she wasn't sleeping there she still has to pay the bills... I am getting nervous that she is going to skip out on her part of the bills which is REALLY frustrating! I wish they would hurry up and rent the house so I can be done with all of this!!!
