Rook is no longer a puppy

Well…since we rescued him as an adult, he never really was a puppy to us, but after yesterdays events, he is certainly all grown up :)

Squirrel!!!

Okay, so if you did not see the movie “UP” you will likely not get the reference I just made.  Basically Rook has been very interested in Rats, Cats, Squirrels, and the occasional small dog.  All this time I thought he simply wanted to chase them around and play since there were many occasions when it appeared easy to catch one of these.  Normally he will sneak up on them and they will simply scurry up a tree, or when cats or dogs are concerned, we certainly pull him back in on the leash.…

One Week with Rook

This time last week Rook was at the Malamute Rescue facility in Staunton, VA.  He came to DC in the afternoon last Monday.  Just a recap of events….

  • Rook is adjusting to the noises of a “big city.”  He is still very intrigued by buses that go by, but is no longer startled.  He still does not like construction zones, so we will try to avoid those, though in DC, that is hard to do :)
  • Rook has learned that it is fun to chase cats, squirrels, and rats.  I doubt he has seen many rats with his previous owner, but he certainly is up for chasing them.  One minute you think he is marking a tree and the next thing you know he is lunging for a rat you see scurry across the street.  While I think most will agree that cats and squirrels should not lose their life to a dog, I doubt anyone would complain if there were a few less rats around DC.

Pet Option

With the move to a new apartment comes the prospects of a pet and my partner and I just rescued a 3 year old Alaskan Malamute named Rook.  :)  I will post pictures later once I get my camera unpacked as cell phone cameras really are terrible.

Patrick used to breed and show Alaskan Malamutes and St. Bernards.  Both large dogs, most apartment buildings do not allow them.  The last place I was in that allowed pets had a 35 pound restriction.  If I recall you could have 2 pets, but the combined weight had to be less than 35 pounds.  Fine if you want a small yippy dog or evil cat.…
