Our dearest Rocky,
We will never forget the day we brought you home in April 2007. You were so scared and unsure of us, you were shaking all the way home. It wasn’t long before you figured out that we were a part of your pack. You were a part of us, and we were a part of you. You grew so fast but I don’t think you ever realized how very big you were. At 180 pounds you were still trying to climb into our laps!
We were so devastated when we learned of your cancer. “Six to eight weeks” was not enough time to prepare to say goodbye to you. Meanwhile we watched the tumor grow and your pain increase. Yet, every single day you continued to appear happy and fill our home with your strong spirit, love and strength. The day you left us was so incredibly hard. Returning home after our final goodbye was the most difficult as you were not there to greet us with your happy face and wagging tail. Our home is not the same since you’ve left. You have left a huge void that no other dog can ever fill. There will never be another like our precious Rocky. We take comfort in knowing you are no longer in pain and you are free to run in heaven until we meet again.
All our love forever,
| Rocky |
