Today is a sad day for me. RIP my good old faithful companion, Rocky. Here's to a dog's life well lived & well loved by his people. Almost 14 years old, always grateful to be ours 1997-2011
Rocky came to us from Westlake Hardware Store where Dan was working before he was a senior in high school. The Humane Society had a pet adoption and I was determined to rescue one of those abandoned dogs. We still had Cody, the beagle, who was 10 & in bad health. She was not amused by a puppy, so we kept them apart as much as possible. Cody lasted one more year. Rocky became my empty-nest dog. Always there for me as each of the kids left for college, marriage, jobs. He was such a good dog... There will be a huge hole in our lives for a while. I was honored to have the privilege of Rocky in my life.
