Rocky is 13 Today



Rocky is 13 today it's birthday and no Gail one dog birthday party was enough. Carrying home 3 medium sized dogs who decide to go for a run in the alley is just too much work.

As you know dogs don't age at the same speed as humans of since people say one dog year is 7 human years in theory he is 101. The seven to one isn't exactly accurate. In the first 18 months mature to match roughly a 21 year old human then the rate slows down. It is still faster than us by far but if a dog lives into his mid teens that difference slows down to as low almost 2 or 3 to one. I saw it expressed in a graph once but that was years ago and I no longer have the graph. I also had one for cats. It was even more extreme. A cat is an adult in a few months them of course the curve evens out.

Rocky's blog is doing well it took me over a year to get 9 followers he got 4 in less than a day. I knew he was the good looking one in the family. Turns out he's the better writer too.

Wanted to take a birthday pic. It is to snow and slush covered outside. May try later in the day or if not will wait till his return trip from the Groomer's in the Spring ( Which here means realistically late April ). Human males only get Groomed to get dragged to the alter.

Alters for Marriage Alters for sacrifices. There has to be a blog article in there somewhere.

  3. Tracey: Rocky doesn't have an owner I'm only his Room Mate. His dog license is in his own name. He does have another article today. Just click on the name of his blog on my I follow list

  5. Lovely pic Sid,
    You look like Odysseas returning from Troy and having landed on the shores of Ithaca where only "Rocky" as mentioned by Homer[Rocky and Homer are both blind and therefore seeers]] recognizes him.Odysseas had had a rough ride home.Thanks for welcoming Sid back, Rocky!
