It’s great to see him back at his normal high energy levels, even though it’s pretty tiring for me 🤣

I think he recognises the BullyBillows packaging by now and knows he’s getting a new collar, harness or lead whenever he sees it because he always gets excited 🤣

I’m celebrating for him and weeping for myself, I’ve enjoyed the peace and relaxation over the last three days 😬

He’s completely back to normal now though, so in all seriousness I’m delighted. He’s still on painkillers for his bum, but last night he finally ate a full dinner for the first time since Friday, and today he’s been a feral wrecking ball destroying ornaments and bags of cotton wool balls whilst I was in the bath because he’s back to his normal high energy levels and frustrated with the lack of exercise he’s done since Saturday.

As you can see, he’s very excited to be feeling better and to be going to his favourite park 🥰 thank you to all of you who have sent kind words to us whilst he was under the weather, we love you all ♥️

They definitely share a brain across the ocean 🤣♥️

All the other dogs just sat nicely with their owners in the waiting room but Rocky was moving the chairs, wobbling around on the laminated floor to explore and doing loud bulldog chatter at the guinea pigs he could see downstairsr 🤣

Parvo cases have been confirmed in neighbouring towns so he’s gone for his parvo booster vaccine and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, as usual. He’s had a quick checkup too whilst we were there and the vet said he’s in perfect condition so that’s great to hear.

I think his favourite part was buying treats and toys from the shop downstairs though 🤭

Training him to hunt spiders is the best thing I ever did, our flat has plants up the brickwork outside so we get a lot of spiders coming in and Rocky always spots them and goes after them straight away 🤣

There’s a fete/fest thing going on in one of our local parks so big man has been there to meet his grandparents for a few hours. He took me to the pet shop first and conned me into buying 20 mini sausages for him to eat whilst waiting for his grandparents. We made friends with some lovely little baby Bassett hounds called Wilfred and Godfrey, Rocky even shared his sausages with them!

He’s met some lovely other dogs too, all very well behaved and none tried to start on him (for once!) so that was great, and he seems to be getting used to going to things like this now. I put him on the tactical collar, harness and double ended lead for extra control because he used to get overstimulated at things like this and drag me around, so I had a bag of treats ready for training and distraction if needed, but I didn’t end up needing to use them, he behaved very well and mostly stayed at my side whilst walking around 💕

We also think that the pet shop scales need to be recalibrated, because they reckon Rocky has put on almost 2kg since I weighed him there last week which simply doesn’t seem right at all 🤣

We hope everyone has had a nice, relaxing Sunday ♥️

I’m so glad I caught that moment on camera, it’s such fantastic timing that nobody would ever believe he nodded ‘yes’ for a chicken nugget if I hadn’t filmed it 🤣🤣

Obviously it’s just a coincidence, I assume so anyway haha, but it always makes me laugh regardless 💕

His sister starts high school tomorrow so we’ve been into town, somehow Rocky ended up with just as much shopping as she did 🤔

He enjoyed the big walkies, bumped into his favourite uncle in town, and is very pleased with his shopping, especially his new unicorn 🦄
