Pictues from Mom's House and Last Night's Meeting

My brother, mother, Rocco, and I all went to Huntington Gardens on Wednesday. I know we go to a lot of Garden type things, but I really enjoy them. They're fun and they're a great place to train the dogs. They're are kids running around and different flowers that they have to ignore. Huntington is great because it also has a tea room that serves "High Tea." It's a bit expensive, but my mother, brother, and I are not in the same place more often than not so we took this opportunity to have tea and scones together and those little finger sandwiches. Rocco also was able to cool down and sleep. Anyway, here are some picture from the gardens.

This was in the Chinese Garden. It has a lot of cool bridges around and I took the opportunity to practice his stay.
Next to a fish statue that ends a really long bridge.
A closeup of my boy on one of the bridges. He's so good.
As we were heading back to the entrance and the gift shop (I really like their gift shop because it's more of a bookstore. They had the complete works or Jane Austen in one volume, but I didn't get it) I say these pretty flowers outside the Chinese Garden.
Isn't he just the most handsome boy you've ever seen?

He poses so well. This was in the Bonsai Court where they have the most amazing Bonsai trees.
Another great bonsai tree. He actually tried to climb over the fence to get to it. :/
That, behind him, is actually a bonsai tree. It is an olive bonsai tree. They're my favourite.
There he is in the Tea Room after a big drink. Funny story: My brother forgot his sunglasses in the waiting room and our waitress brought them to us and I forgot Rocco's portable water dish on the table as we left and she ran out the door to give it to me. My mom laughed at both of us for our scatter brains and just as she finished scolding me our waitress ran out with her hand sanitizer that she had left on the table. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

You see that stroller? There is a great kids garden (it has jumping fountains that Rocco was completely in love with. I have a video, but my computer won't let me load them onto blogger) and Rocco made a lot of kiddie friends. He even went between a lady's leg to get to her baby. I was so embarrassed.

I love his tongue.

I have another picture of him just like this when he was 13 weeks old in my backyard.
My favourite picture of the day!

Ok, now that the Gardens are over I have a game for you all. You remember that I told you that the blow up mattress that I slept on the first night deflated all the way to the ground? Well, Rocco loved it! Even when it was completely deflated. So here is the game. It's called FIND THE PUPPY.

Did you find the puppy everytime? He just blended in so well with the sheets I was using.

There were a few times that we had all four people in the car and it was hard to get Rocco on the set in the back or on the floor behind the seats. So, since my mom and a forester, he was put in the back.

He wasn't too happy about being left back there for two car rides.

Now let me show you pictures of last night's puppy meeting. We had a small meeting because Royalty is boarding up at Guide Dogs because she went into heat again, Amici is at a sitters house because his family is out of town, and of course Townsend doesn't have to come anymore.

Tomales. He's such a cute dog.

Kendrick. He's such a good boy!
He's so big. He got switched to an X-Large jacket last night so that Rocco could get a Large.

My Rocco. He's so good and so adorable.

Rockford. He's such a happy boy and he's silly. Right now he's got puppy pimples.

I had a good picture of Colorado, but I accidentally erased it and I really don't want to load it again.

Only 2 weeks before Fun Day and the Name Game closes. So don't forget to guess the name of our new Golden Retriever and remember to guess if we're getting the largest or smallest male of the group.
