About 2 weeks ago we brought home a new family member: Rocco. Rocco was 9 weeks old when we picked him up from his foster mom. We had been emailing back and forth in the weeks prior to meeting Rocco and I was anxious to take Nellie to meet the new pup. We drove an for almost 2 hours in poor driving conditions to Grass Lake, MI. When we arrived we were greeted by the foster mom and she lead us to where the pups were kept. There were 2 German Short haired Pointers left from the litter and a mixed breed puppy together in the kennel. The mixed breed was named Pooka and she was feisty! She was the only one of the three pups that seemed interested in us and Nellie. I was thinking, "I'm going to have to adopt Pooka!" Eventually Rocco warmed up to us and became more curious about Nellie. The other GSP was not the least bit interested so we decided on Rocco. We signed the papers and we were off with our new pup who slept in my lap the whole ride home. Once we got him home he was pretty nervous and skiddish around Nellie. My family came over and a few friends that night and within a couple of hours Nellie and Rocco were playing tug-o-war together.

Rocco being more interested in us than the other GSP was not the only reason that I, personally, wanted him. He was small and thin compared to his litter mate and he reminded me of Nellie as a pup. Nellie was the runt of her litter and she was very small and thin. We like the runts I guess! He has grown so much in the past 2 weeks too.
Nellie and Rocco seem to have adjusted well to each other. They like to snuggle at night and play together all day. Nellie gets very nervous and searches for Rocco when she can't find him. Its quite adorable. Mike and Rocco seem to enjoy each other too...
