Central Park




Well well it's been a few days and it's going well. Rocky is getting better with the city noises and only has a minor fear of stairs still. We found a dog park close by in Riverside Park. I took him there this morning. There was a very gay man (both expressions of the word apply to him) talking baby talk to Rocky. "Is someone excited to go play? Oh yes you are, yes you are" That was awkward.
Today was a beautiful day in the city. About 70 degrees outside. We took Rocky to Central Park. He had a great time. Everyone had comments about Rocky. One lady called him a "Painted Bear". He met a couple from his native land of Switzerland and also some ladies from China, who kept saying how big he was. Adam was very cautious with them :0). There was also a small black lab puppy that was passing by us. As he passed by he flopped on the ground and wouldn't move. The owner pulled and pulled and pulled but the puppy would not move. I thought at first it might be scared of Rocky but it suddenly jumped at him and tried to wrestle with him. Rocky pushed him away and tried to ignore him. 'Crazy Kids' Rocky thought as he rolled his eyes. haha....

It was a nice day all around and Adam and I are thinking about getting bikes to ride around Central Park. It looked like a lot of fun today.
