My Best Friend Rocky!

ONE YEAR WITHOUT YOU, BABY

IT'S COMING UP ON 1 YEAR SINCE YOU'VE PASSED AWAY ROCKY, MY BOY. I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE IT. I STILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN AND REMEMBER ALL YOUR FUNNY LITTLE HABITS, BUT THE TEARS ARE GETTING FEWER AND FARTHER BETWEEN. I AM SURE YOU KNOW THAT I GOT ANOTHER PUP IN SEPT. ROCKY HONEY, BUT EVEN THOUGH SHE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE YOU SHE WILL NEVER REPLACE YOU IN MY HEART. SHE IS SO YOUNG AND FULL OF ENERGY, SHE KEEPS ME ON MY TOES FOR SURE... BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER HAVE THE CONNECTION WITH HER THAT I HAD WITH YOU. I LOVE HER, I GUESS ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF WE 'LL BOND THAT STRONG. ANYWAY ROCKYPOOH, MOMMY MISSES YOU, ONE YEAR LATER. IN MY DREAMS I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HAPPY AND HEALTHY ONCE AGAIN AND WAITING FOR THE DAY WE SEE ONE ANOTHER AGAIN. LOVE ALWAYS, MOMMY

4 months and still healing

I still miss you Rocky. Although I've stopped leaving the light on at night so I don't trip over you. And I leave the garge door open sometimes now because I don't have to worry about you sneaking out of the backyard. I can enjoy a rain storm now without worry. You won't be pacing the hall. I've fallen out of all those little habits that were so routine.
But in a way I miss them, I miss taking care of you, I guess a lot of my identity was being, Rocky's Mom. I miss that. Iam still not sure about getting another dog, Rocky, but if i do, I hope you know that there isn't anyone or anything that could ever replace you in my heart. I love you Rockypooh!

Two Months without my boy!

Well, its been two months since my baby has been gone. I think I've made some improvement dealing with it. Today I finally made it to the park where we walked for years and had the courage to face the other dog owners that we had come to know so well. They were very sympathic and I managed to get out the whole sad story without shedding a tear. But I don't know if walking there again without Rocky is even within the realm of possibility.
Today I also managed to put away most of his things in a little box I made for his mementos. All his sympathy cards and letters, his collars, his leash, even an old toenail we found stuck on the carpet.
It is still hard and I still feel like I am betraying his memory a little bit by putting things away, but I still have his pictures out and some other small reminders here and there. But nothing will ever remove you from my heart Rocky. I love you my baby boy and miss you horribly. I miss your soft fur and your silly little habits. I love you Rocky Baby.
