Rocky was a 12 pound furry 4-legged angel. He always knew when I would pull into the drive way. He had different bark for me and my dad. When he saw me or heard my car it was a more high-pitched, hyper sounding bark. Oh to hear that bark again and see that wagging tail.
Rocky always knew when I would be running late getting home. He would lay by the door and wait till I came home. Then the endless kisses and snuggles began.
Rocky had a set time that he would always get his dinner. It was 7 o’clock every night. He made sure you didn’t forget. Some how I think he could actually tell time. He got a little confused when the time would change but it did not take him long to get back on schedule.
Rocky was as bad as me about wanting to sleep late. The alarm would go off and he would just turn over and look at me. We would get up and he would go out and potty. Then he came back in and we would cuddle till the snooze went off again. He knew that the time between the snooze alarms was his time to snuggle up as close as he could. Of course the snooze would get hit several times, cause I enjoyed the snuggles as much he did.
Rocky loved hamburgers, sometimes I would go through the drive-thru at McDonalds and get him his very own plain hamburger. You would think I just gave him a t-bone steak by the way he ate it.
Rocky had many nick-names one of them being LeRoy. When I would start looking for Rocky, he would usually be with my dad when he was not with me. So I would ask my dad if I could see Rocky. He would say that it wasn’t Rocky sitting with him that it was LeRoy. It was just something special that my Dad, Rocky “LeRoy”, and I shared.
I miss Rocky so much, I have recently moved out on my own. I tried taking Rocky with me, but I live in an apratment and Rocky was use to having a yard, so I took him back to my parents. My dad was glad to see him come back, but I was sad. I would get Rocky some on the weekends and bring him over to my palce. He was so happy to get to spend with me, and I with him.
There is now a huge hole in my heart. I’m not sure when and if it will ever heal. Rocky went to Rainbow Bridge July 5th 2005 around 11:42 am. We had to have him put to sleep, becuase he had congetive heart failure and was only getting worse and worse. Rocky is now my guardian angel, and I will always and forever love him, and keep him close in my heart.
This is just a little about my angel Rocky, it’s hard to wrap up 11 years worth of love into one short Reflection, but I wanted everyone to know how very special my angel was to me.
Rocky, I love you son, and you will alaways be my baby boy. I miss your snuggles, and your kisses. Love you so much and I will see you soon.
Love you forever and always
