I know, they are beautiful companions, and we learn to live with their little "shortcomings". Rocket doesn't have very many. His only vices are chewing his own toys/blankets and sometimes a good "dig" in the backyard. Other than that he is the perfect dog! He's sweet and has a lovely disposition, never barks, listens attentively when we speak to him, is obedient, doesn't mess in the house and always looks like he's smiling! We are so lucky to have him!
