We found Rocky in July 2005, so I do not know his date of birth, but he was still quite young, maybe a year/year and a half, but I put his DOB as the date he blessed us with his presence.
He has brought so much love to our lives and he had an amazing character. He was the funniest dog on the planet at times, :o)
He had days when he thought he was a cow, and he would make mooing noises at us then pounce and pin us down and lick us to death!!!!!!! LOL
He quite often tried to be a ninja dog, and sneak up and try to catch flies, which he did unsuccessfully!!!!
He was an excellent spider-catcher though, and he would chase them, tease them for a bit then eat them, YUKKKKKKK, but he usually spat out the legs as they were a bit too spindly for him, haha.......
Unfortunately, on 30th September, Rocky had a series of seizures that were so severe, and so many in a space of 24 hours, that he could not be helped, and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go.
I sat with him and held him tightly as he passed. He was finally at peace.
My heart broke in two, the pain of loosing this beautiful little dog so suddenly is unbearable at times, but we know that he is in a better place and free from suffering.
We love and miss you, Rocky, love from Mam, Dan, Soph and Leah, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As we face another christmas without you, I do know that you are here in spirit, my gorgeous little puppy dog. We quite often hear you plodding about and we still find your hairs in the most random of places, :o)
Sleep peacefully, Rocky, love you forever, xxx
When we lose a loved one
Our world just falls apart
We think that we cant carry on
With this broken heart
Everything is different now
You're upset and you're annoyed
Your world it seems is shattered
There's such an awful void
There's got to be a reason
And we have to understand
God made us and at any time
Hell reach down for our hand
There might not be a warning
We won't know where or when
The only thing were certain of
Is well meet them once again.

A PET'S POEM
A companion,a pal
A very best friend.
Someone to trust,
To love 'til the end.
Someone to trust,
When feeling blue.
Always a smile,
To always greet you.
Always a smile,
To dry up your tears.
A person to be there,
To quiet your fears.
A person to be there,
When lonely or sad.
Loving regardless,
If hating or mad.
Loving regardless,
If caring or cruel.
No matter what,
Genius or fool.
No matter what,
They stand by you.
Who is this person,
Have you a clue?
Who is this person?
I'll tell you who.
This is your pet,
That loves through 'n through.

How We Survive
If we are fortunate,
we are given a warning.
If not,
there is only the sudden horror,
the wrench of being torn apart;
of being reminded
that nothing is permanent,
not even the ones we love,
the ones our lives revolve around.
Life is a fragile affair.
We are all dancing
on the edge of a precipice,
a dizzying cliff so high
we can't see the bottom.
One by one,
we lose those we love most
into the dark ravine.
So we must cherish them
without reservation.
Now.
Today.
This minute.
We will lose them
or they will lose us
someday.
This is certain.
There is no time for bickering.
And their loss
will leave a great pit in our hearts;
a pit we struggle to avoid
during the day
and fall into at night.
Some,
unable to accept this loss,
unable to determine
the worth of life without them,
jump into that black pit
spiritually or physically,
hoping to find them there.
And some survive
the shock,
the denial,
the horror,
the bargaining,
the barren, empty aching,
the unanswered prayers,
the sleepless nights
when their breath is crushed
under the weight of silence
and all that it means.
Somehow, some survive all that and,
like a flower opening after a storm,
they slowly begin to remember
the one they lost
in a different way...
The laughter,
the irrepressible spirit,
the generous heart,
the way their smile made them feel,
the encouragement they gave
even as their own dreams were dying.
And in time, they fill the pit
with other memories
the only memories that really matter.
We will still cry.
We will always cry.
But with loving reflection
more than hopeless longing.
And that is how we survive.
That is how the story should end.
That is how they would want it to be.

To my beautiful little Rocky, xxx
As time goes by I won't forget,
That you were my beloved pet.
You made me happy when I was sad
And just for that I'm very glad.
God took you to his home in the sky.
I miss you Rocky, but I try not to cry.
Although my heart is broken in two,
One day I'll come and be with you.
I don't know when, but when I do,
I will come and cuddle you.
I think about you everyday.
My heart will never feel the same way.
Until we meet again some day,
Together forever and never apart,
You'll be forever in my heart.
Always thinking of you ...
... never forgotten. xx
Everyone has their time,
But why did yours have to come so soon?
There are so many doggies in the world So why did God have to pick you?
They say things like this make you stronger
But how can that be? I feel so weak inside
It all feels like a dream
You passed away too soon But I feel your watching over me And someday I'll see you again

Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love.
Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait.
For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more.
