Bernese Mountain Dogs
In Loving Memory of
Berner "Rock-It"
Nov. 2005- Feb. 1st 2006
Rock-It was born in late
November 2005. He belonged to my parents. My Mom and Dad had always
wanted a Berner. Finally they made the decision to get one. They
found this beautiful puppy and after many deliberations with the
entire family. We all decided upon "Rock-It" His story is
a sad one for everyone involved. January 19th eager to receive him,
my parents drove to Salt Lake City Utah to pick him up from the
airport. Instantly they bonded. He was gorgeous, yet small. He had
the sweetest eyes you have ever seen.
Upon arriving home they
noticed he just wouldn't stop shivering and wouldn't eat. Then, the
next day they took him to our vet. He gave them many antidotes for a
pup that would not eat. Two days later he ended up having to stay
with our vet because something just wasn't right. Our poor vet was
just baffled at why Rock-It wouldn't eat. He under went several
tests for beaver-fever, and other numerous things. All came back
negative. His health was going down fast. He spent nearly the entire
two weeks he lived with us in the care of our wonderful vet.
FInally on Feb. 1st 2006
when we took him in for check-up We had just gotten home from
droppimg him off. We had a unsettling feeling that this would be
last time we saw our precious berner boy. Then, the phone rang and
our stomachs churned, it was our vet he said that Rock-It had
passed. He asked permission to do an autopsy. We all wanted to know
what made him so sick. He found a twisted intestine. Nearly the
entire thing had died. This was killing him from the time he left
his breeder home to ours. Our vet felt terrible. We all truly tried
everything imaginable. But, nothing worked. Rock-It did not die in
vain, because nearly two weeks after his passing our vet called us.
He said your puppy and his symptoms helped me save a boxer pup. He
knew what to look for this time. So, just knowing that this tragedy
we suffered and the great pain of loss helped another family not
have to go through the same thing. Because of Rock-It
We now raise Bernese
Mountain Dogs and in his memory we have offered a local scholarship
to graduating seniors with the interest in veterinary medicine. His
beautiful eyes touched the soul and he was a fighter. We loved him
very much. So to our first Berner Puppy that left our hearts so full
we deliver this memorial to you...
"We
love you Rock-It"
