Hi, Marty!
It's Beth Rocchino,
and I wanted to let you know that Diva
is doing wonderfully. She just turned
2, and is a lean, muscled 99 pounds.
She loves her walks around the neighborhood
with us, playing with the kids, or hoping
to get splashed with the hose when Frank
waters the flowers. I have a lot of
little nephews and nieces, and she always
sits by them when they play and watches
them. If one wanders off, she goes and
gets him and nudges him back to the
others. It's so funny to watch!
The other day, Frank
and I were in the kitchen and heard
Diva barking very loudly. I went out,
and there in the driveway was a strange
man we didn't know, almost climbing
on top of our mailbox because he was
scared of Diva! Now, Diva was about
10 feet away from him. He said to us,
"that scared me seeing her run
out at me like that!" Frank told
him not to come on the property and
asked what he wanted. He made some lame
excuse about selling steaks. (He was
driving an unmarked pickup truck.) We
said we weren't interested and he drove
away. The whole time Diva stood between
us and the man and didn't budge. I was
never so proud of her, and never so
happy that I had that dog! You know,
the cane corso is such a loving, family
dog, you sometimes forget that they're
fierce protectors when they have to
be.
Anyway, thought you'd
like to hear that story.
Thanks,
Beth Rocchino
