Hi blog readers! This is a guest post from Rocky, the family mascot, child, and dog. I am here to report MY perspective of the new house!

First of all, the humans never go up to Blue Ridge without me in the backseat! I am great in the car. I love watching people and laying in the backseat. I never cry or barf (only when I was a really little baby).

When we get to the house, I love to get out and sniff all the other animals who visit there during the week. I can smell bears, deer, coyotes, mountain lion, tigers, yeti, and sometimes other doggies. I have a few fav trees to pee on, but that’s getting a little personal…

This house has challenging me in ways I never could have imagined. I have risen to the challenge (literally) of jumping up two feet through the front door. Sometimes it takes me a few peaks over the edge to summon the courage, but I always eventually make it! As dad mentioned in the last post (thanks for callin’ me out, dad) I am still working on the steps. In my defense, I am LITTLE and there are big slits in the middle of the steps where my paws and fall right through. Good thing I can still make those puppy dog eyes and mom picks me right up and carries me. Blue Ridge is also the only place I feel comfortable jumping out of the back of the Jeep. Why jump when your parents pick you up like a prince??

Well, readers, I hope you have enjoyed my perspective on this new house adventure. Check back for more updates! And a shameless plug for my twitter: follow me @RockyDurkin.
