THE STORY OF
RUDE ROCK
Rude Rock literally translates to our two dogs Rudy and Rocky. What started as a simple combination of their names became the cornerstone of our philosophy and approach to everything we do.
Rudy
Thirteen-year-old white lab mix
The embodiment of joy and enthusiasm.
Rudy, a craigslist baby was a complete surprise 21st birthday gift. Having raised him since he was just six-weeks old, Rudy has been so much more than just a dog for Danny and Nicole. He was the underpinning to our family.
Rudy represents the enthusiasm and energy we bring to every athlete interaction and coaching session.
Rocky
Thirteen-year-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix
The wise guardian with unwavering loyalty.
Rocky had been in the Foley family since Danny was 17 years old. Having been apart from Rocky for about five years when away for college, Rocky was reintroduced into our lives by happenstance, or perhaps a stroke of fate. Following an extensive knee surgery, Danny’s mom asked if we could take care of him for a few weeks while she recovered. But after seeing how seamlessly he and Rudy got along, instantly forming a truly special bond in a matter of just a couple of days we knew this wouldn’t be a temporary endeavor.
Rocky embodies the stability, wisdom, and methodical approach that grounds our training and coaching philosophy.
THE DEEPER MEANING
Rude Rock, although admittedly may be a bit corny for some, possesses a tremendously deep sentiment for us. Aside from being avid dog lovers, we have discovered so much more about each other and ourselves through these two.
From the lowest of lows, to the highest of highs our boys were with us stride for stride each and every step of the way. They have invariably been the epitome of unconditional love, fulfillment of joy, and thrill seekers we have undoubtedly needed in our lives.
To that end, we felt their inclusion on this endeavor was the perfect mantra to what we hope to accomplish through this medium.
