I can't stop Crying! Rocky has gone to the Bridge!

[critter crazy]

First thing this morning, hubby got up to let the dogs out while he got ready for work. The dogs get chained up now, as we lost most of our fence to the last snow storm. While he was chaining up Duke, Rocky slipped past him, and took off. Rocky has never done this before! he is such an easy going Laid back guy, one of those, you have to force to get up off of their bed! Hubby started calling him, and he wouldnt listen. So hubby went inside to grab the leash, and get some shoes on, as he was doing this, he heard a sound, no one wants to hear! The squeeling of tires, and Rocky Screaming! It was so Loud, It woke me up!
I shot up out of bed, and ran out side in my Pajammas trying to figure out what that horrendus sound was. Thats when I saw My boy Rocky laying in the road! He was crying, trying to get up. The person who hit him, was distraught, and helped us get rocky into our truck, to rush him to the vets. Hubby had to take him on his own, as I had the kids to take care of.
I did my best, to think positive, and to hold back the tears, while the boys were asking what was going on. Me and the boys, just sat in the kitchen, praying for Rocky.
About 20 mins after hubby left, I got a phone call. It was hubby, Rocky didnt make it, he passed on during the 10 min trip to the vets. Hubby was so upset! we discussed what to do About ur boy, and decided to leave him there at the vets, and to have him Cremated.
Duke is Sad, he just walks around looking for Rocky.
I am at a loss, as to why something like this would happen!! I cant stop crying! I feel like I failed Rocky. He was oly 3yrs old. http://www.e-equestrian.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://www.e-equestrian.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://www.e-equestrian.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://www.e-equestrian.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Awww im so sorry for your loss! It makes me almost cry and I dont even know him, He was such a pretty dog.

[Alysser]

OMG, I was so shocked to see this. I was hoping it wasn't our Rocky, but I had a bad feeling it was. I am so sorry for your loss, he looked like such a sweet soul. Life isn't fair to us sometimes, but please know it wasn't your fault. You had no clue Rocky would run away. He is pain-free now, and happily running around at the bridge with all his PT buddies and friends.

{{{hugs}}}

RIP sweet Rocky. I am sorry it had to end this way, you'll be missed by all of us here at pettalk. :(

I'm so sorry to hear this :( :( :( Another angel was needed in heaven.

Rest in Peace Big Man :( Play hard at the bridge sweetheart :(

[Jadapit]

I'm crying right along with you! I'm so, so sorry this happened. Life is so unfair at times. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS))) RIP sweet Rocky boy.

[Karen]

Oh dear, poor Rocky! You and everyone will be in our prayers, what a tragic accident. Remember that's all it was, it wasn't anyone's fault, okay?

Rocky, you go find Bruni and Freckles - they're both big ol' Saintly girls, and they've been up there a while. They'll know all the good spots for naps, and will surely take you to my mom, who has always had a big soft spot in her heart for Saint Bernards.

[luvofallhorses]

OMG not Rocky! :( My heart goes out to you and your family, Maggie. I am so, so sorry. :( ((((HUGS)))) You and your family will be in my thoughts. Rest in peace, sweet Rocky. I will really miss seeing your pictures and hearing silly stories of you. :(

[Miss Z]

Oh how tragic, I can't believe that Rocky is gone! He was such a sweetheart.

((hugs)) for you, RIP Rocky boy. :(

[sandragonfly]

goodness. I couldn't not reply to this - so very sad! :( :(

((((I am so sorry)))) I wish I could say something else.

rest in peace now, sweet rocky..

[Danegirl2208]

Oh no :( i am so sorry...i cant belive it ((hugs)) to you and your family

[Roxyluvsme13]

I'm really at a loss for words. I know there's nothing I can really do or say to help, but I will be thinking of you and your family.

(((((HUGS)))))

[kittycats_delight]

Maggie, I just don't know what to say. I have come back to this thread 3 times and I just couldn't bring myself to post. I can only imagine how hard this is for you. I am brokenhearted myself and I only know Rocky from pictures and his stories. He was such a beautiful, sweet, soft soul. Know that I am thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. I am so very very sorry.


RIP Rocky boy. You made a big impact on a lot of people. We love you boy and will be sorely missed. Keep an eye on your mamma ok. She is really hurting right now and send her a message to let her know you are doing ok up there. You will never be forgotten buddy.


((((HUGS)))))

[Glacier]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Godspeed Rocky.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry. :( Our big, sweet, handsome boy. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Rocky. :(

[cyber-sibes]

:( I'm so sorry for you loss. There are never words enough to express the sorrow of such a great loss.

Rocky, you'll find lots and lots of PT pups to play with at the bridge, big guy. Check in on your family once in a while, they miss you.

I do know how you feel - I lost my Rosie when she had just turned 3 the same way. I'm glad you decided on the cremation. My husband suprised me with Rosie's ashes. I'm truly grateful to have them.

[Vela]

OMG I'm so sorry! I couldn't beleive it was really OUR Rocky. I was afraid to open it! Ugh I wish I could say something that would help but there is nothing I can say that will make you feel better right now. My thoughts and best wishes are with you. Sometimes it seems so unfair. I just feel so bad for you.

[animal_rescue]

Awww I'm so sorry to hear this. RIP Rocky. :(

[Kalei]

Wow, I'm crying right now and can barely see the computer screen. I always get so upset when I hear bad things happening to animals, even if they aren't mine. I'm so sorry about your Rocky, if I'm crying over him right now and I dont' even know him, I can't imagine how lost you must feel.

Rocky was such a beautiful dog, and I loved that picture of him. I hope Rocky finds lots of happiness and other dogs to lay around with at the Bridge. And maybe someday you will know why he was needed at the Bridge at such a young age.

[Sevaede]

**HUG**

R.I.P. Rocky. :(

[Freedom]

I am in tears, too. RIP, Rocky! You knew lots of love and can carry that to the bridge for all the strays you meet up there. Send a few love strings down to your family, too, buddy.

[cmayer31]

I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

[chocolatepuppy]

I'm so sorry about Rocky. :( Life is just not fair sometimes. There are many PT angels to look after him at the Rainbow Bridge. He will be ok. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. {hugs}

[Daisy and Delilah]

Just checking in on you all. My heart is breaking for you. I have been thinking of Rocky all day. I loved the pictures of him falling off the bed. I hope you're up at the bridge having a party tonight big fella!! :(

[buttercup132]

OMG no:( Poor Rocky. R.I.P

[sparks19]

Oh Gosh. I am so sorry. I know all to well the pain and guilt you are feeling.... but you CANNOT blame yourself. We always think there is more we could have done after the fact..... trust me..... thinking this way will tear you apart even more. I'm so sorry. This is one of the most heartbreaking ways to lose a pet :( All I can offer is my prayers and sympathy and cyber hugs. And if you need to talk you know I am just a pm away. I know what you are going through and while I'm sure that does not offer ANY comfort I am always available to listen.

RIP Rocky. Make friends with Teddy.... he is a newbie at the bridge too.... He's a little nutty sometimes but he's a good boy and will be a good friend to you.

CC..... all my thoughts and prayers for your family in this gut wrenching time. There is really nothing I can say to help.... only time can heal your heart.

[critter crazy]

Today has been a rough day, we all spent the day out of the house, It was just too hard. We just got home about 15 mins ago, and the first thing I saw when I walked Downstairs, was rocky's bed. I lost it once again. Life can just suck sometimes!:(

[k9krazee]

OH NO! I am just now seeing this.

:( :( :(

Not our Rocky.

I'm at a loss for words, I am so incredibly sorry ((((((Hugs)))))))))

Rest Easy Rocky.

[Hellow]

RIP Rockey. May your body rest in peace and your soul have a good time on the rainbow bridge. Also, look for my dear two gerbils and my cat. They have been up there for a while and are probably looking for a play buddy.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh no... I am so terrible sorry. This must be incredibly hard on you and your family.... My heart goes out to you. Rest in Peace, big boy Rocky... :( :( :(

[tikeyas_mom]

[dukedogsmom]

I'm so very sorry. To lose him that way makes it a lot harder, I know. Please don't think you failed him. You couldn't know he was going to do that. I'm sorry your Mother's day will be such a sad one. If you want a special urn, here's where I got one for Duke. It made me feel a lot better to have something personal for him.

Those are beautiful urns.

When we lost our Teddy we bought a tree and buried half of his ashes in the soil with the tree and keep the other half in an urn. Having that tree and knowing he is now part of that tree REALLY helps us. Now we can see him all the time by just looking at that tree.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Those Urn's are gorgeous, thenks for the Link Dukedogsmom.

Sparks, Today we will be planting a cherry tree in his memory. We always plant a tree when we loose a pet, it does somehow make us feel better.

[lute]

I just saw this! I'm so sorry about Rocky. He was so adorable and I liked seeing pics of him. Even though he wasn't with you long he was well loved and cared for. It wasn't your fault. You didn't let Rocky down. He's at the bridge now looking over Duke and your family. I'm sure my Charlie is with him showing him all the good digging spots.

R.I.P. Rocky. :(

[K9karen]

I'm devastated beyond words. I'm so sorry for your loss. Safe journey to the Bridge, dear Rocky. You'll be terribly missed.

That is one of the hardest ways to lose a pet. :( I'm so sorry Rocky didn't make it. Rest in peace, big boy.

[AdoreMyDogs]

I am so sorry at your loss :( He was truly a magnificant animal and rest assured he's in a good place now. I am sorry that you had to go threw such a traumatic ending, no one deserves to go through such pain and I know there's little anyone can say that takes the pain away, just know you have our sincere condolonces. He was well loved and he left the earth with a heart full of happiness.

I am so sorry. Rest in peace, handsome boy :(

[florida-4]

It is so hard when you dont get to say goodbye to your furbaby and especialy when a tragic accident happens like yours. I feel for all of you at this very sad and hard time. I havent got over losing my Jake to Wells disease nearly 3 weeks ago now. They say time is the best healer but I dont know about that! My love goes out to you all.

[wendysue1853]

I am so so sorry, but don't blame yourself. Sometimes things just happen for which we don't know the reason, only God does. But know that he is happy now and someday when you feel better you will have your happy memories to remind you of your friend. I will think some happy thoughts for you!

[Anita Cholaine]

I've just seen this thread :(

I am so so sorry about your loss. {{{{hugs}}}}

RIP Rocky, you were such a wonderful boy.
