Question
What ever happened to Rocky 2 at the end of Season 4?  After Rocky 1 died and
the whole Brenda/prison/ Andrea's lab plot line, the lab gave Donna Rocky 2.  
There was at least one show with the housebreaking problems of the pup, but I
don't remember seeing him again, or an explanation of his location.  Why did
they spend all that time introducing a dog plot line and then abandoning it?

Answer
Hello Tiff

Thank you so much for the question. You are right, Rocky 2 was barely seen after season 4. To my knowledge, the only episode he appears in after season 4 is in season 5, episode 9 'Intervention'.

In this episode, it is revealed that Rocky 2 lives at Donna's parent's house. Donna and Ray take the dog for a walk after Ray meets her parents and Felice, Donna's mom, doesn't approve of Donna dating him. They take Rocky 2 for a walk to get out of the house.

I believe there is reference to the dog again in season 7, episode 32 'Graduation Day' when Donna and David sleep together. She tells him that she has a 'surprise' and he says something along the lines of 'please tell me it's not another pet', because they had so much trouble housebreaking Rocky 2.

Hope this answers your question!
