My First Baby

I had to include a post for Roc. He was, after all, the first baby! Roc is the best dog ever. He is always happy, always willing to play, and always wants to cuddle! He is protective and at the same time so gentle and tolerant with the kids. He is going to be ten years old this summer! Sometimes he acts his age and other times he still thinks that he is a puppy! He loves to lick people - but only those that he knows. I guess his dog mom taught him about not licking strangers! He was definitely partial to me when we first got him. Then when Brian was born, he changed his allegiance. I guess he knew that the baby needed me more!
