My parents' dog Rocky will soon be at the Bridge

[Corinna]

Hey Kirsten welcome to the dog side .I 'm sorry it's for this reason. People here pray just as hard for the pups as do the cat folks I am all over the board having so many critters. Know that mMontana is sending prays across the ocean.

Sorry to hear about Rocky Kirsten, he will be in my prayers.

[Kirsten]

Thank you for your prayers everyone!

senorita02, yes, this is where my parents live. They have a restaurant in the forest here in my hometown, and it's very beautiful up there.

So far, Rocky doesn't seem to be suffering, he's acting normal, apart from that he's not eating anymore (at least not his dry food, only canned food; the vet said this is because of the stronger smell of the wet food). My mother says that if he's beginning to suffer and to be in pain, he will be helped to the bridge.

BTW, I wonder what it is that caused the enlarged spleen? The vet mentioned that a surgery would only speed up the deadly process, so I figure it might be a tumor?

Kirsten, I'm sure you remember me falling in love with Rocky over on the cat side. He is gorgeous and i'm so sorry that his health is declining. He seems to have touched so many hearts, including mine.

I'll be thinking of your family and that sweet boy of their's... hugs to you all, and if you get the chance to, please give Rocky a great big hug from me.

[Kirsten]

Thank you!

Yes, that's him. I took that photo when I took Rocky out for a walk last fall.

BTW, I searched for the bigger version of the photo I've posted above (as I wanted to frame it for my parents), but I cannot find it anymore. Obviously I've accidently deleted it.

I am so sorry! He is a very handsome boy! VERY HANDSOME! I hope he lives! Is there anyway he can? Prayers and good thoughts on the way.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Rocky sure is a handsome one. I hate it when things like this happen but near the holidays makes it even worse. I pray Rocky doesn't suffer and can go naturally to the bridge. They give us such great love. This is the sadness of being so blessed.

[Karen]

We will all hold your family and the handsome Rocky in our prayers. He's a sweetie, that's for sure.

And he WILL still be with you, just in spirit, not in phyical presence any more.

Will keep him in my prayers and you and your mom and Reinhold also
