Alias Rocco the desk dog

First of all you have to know that we have a small house. A very small house and so, when the holidays come things need to be shifted around the living room to accomodate the tree. Not that we have a lot of furniture in the living room, just a tv a desk and a sofa and a small drawered chest. This year we shoved the desk under the big front windo and put the tree in its place. Of course Rocco the wonder dog had to inspect it and make certain all was well. Then, and I have no idea how this happened, the chest was pushed to the side of the couch and the desk butted up against it and there was a folded blanket on the desk top and sitting there in all his scooby Doo glory was Rocco the Wonder dog. It seems that sofa chest desk made a series of easy steps for him to get to the desk topthough he has been known to fly up there propelled from somewhere mid room. eh desk to
Once upon a time when we had furniture arranged a different way, Rocco could lay on the back of the couch and watch the world go by, but we changes the furniture and his sentry post was gone. And now it's back and there he sits, either upright, his funny half bent ears at alert as he scans the yard for possible villians. Ralphie might have had his bb gun but we have Rocco. We are safe from random squirrels, cats, a trash can being blown down the street, not to mention the fed ex, Ups and the USPS folk who dare to deliver packages on our street without permission from Rocco. Luckily the guys who come by to steal the garbage come before Rocco is awake because there will be no garbage theivery on his watch.
His best day as Mighty desk watchdog was when there was a cat across the street, some random movement in the yard AND the chinese lady across the street dared to head toward her car to go somewhere. Rocco told them in no uncertain terms that they were not to even THINK about his house.
He's not on this vigil alone. Eloise Matilda his stuffed gorilla remains on the floor but he has carried his rather big toy lamb up there to use for a pillow to prop up his head so he can lay and look out the window.
Since the desk was a second hand give away desk and not something expensive and wonderful, I think Rocco might just have a permanent post and if I ever figure out my digital camera and learn how to add pics to this blog, we might all get to see a big brown scooby doois sort of dog and his fluffy white lamb protecting us from rain drops, woodchucks and delivery trucks... all from the comfort of the front window.
