Dear Rocky,

it's been 2 weeks today since you passed away. I was thinking back today how much you loved us, you would have done anything for us. How much you made us happy with just your tail wagging until we would pet you and you would attack us with kisses. We were watching videos of you a few nights ago with your first Christmas we bought you a nylabone. You opened it without our help, you were indeed such a smart boy! The memories of you are still so clear to me as I was a child when we first got you. Remember when we went sledding you wanted so bad to go on? You just sat at the top of the hill with my parents watching out for us like you always did. You were a true loyal and faithful companion.

You seriously could do no wrong. Remember when you stole Dan's hat when you were a pup? He got so upset with you! When you got hit by that car, we thought we were going to lose you. I am so glad we didn't and you gave us 8 more years of unconditional love. You were the best dog ever. I don't think another dog could compare to you. You were our special black boy and one in a million. I am just so glad we found you and you found us. I love you so much, big guy we all do and miss you so much. Be good up at the bridge okay and welcome all of the other babies that have passed to the bridge with open paws, okay dear boy? I love you so much!!!

your mommy and family
