Rocky

My mom found him right in front of her apartment, balled up on the parking lot floor. I took him to the vet immediately and was told that he was only 3 weeks old. I've had him for a little over 9 months and I have to say they've been the happiest 9 months of my life. He's my 1st dog and oh man has he been a handful but the loyalty and love he returns is so worth it. He's very playful, full of energy, destroys everything, eats ANYTHING, shows aggression in front of strangers (other animals or people) but that's because I failed to socialize him. I can't handle him on the leash because he's too strong and wants to run. So now I ride bicycle with him on a leash that way I can keep up with him and we both get good exercise. He gets home tired and he stays calm the rest of the day. Oddly he gets along with my cat, misha, I guess because he's known her since he was 3 weeks old and I recently got another kitty, ellie. I was scared that he might think she's a chew toy but he surprisingly loves her and lays down next to her so she can climb on him and play with his ears. AWWWWWW......anyway for 9 months everyone has been puzzled with his breed so I paid for one of those DNA tests and I got the results today. He's a American Bulldog and Boston Terrier mix! I knew that he was an american bulldog for sure but never did Boston Terrier cross my mind. I'm so happy =)
