The Incredible Rocky Dog Jan. 12th 1997-April 2nd 2007
How do you set out to write a tribute to a Dog like Rocky? How
do you sum up what a special creature means to you in just a
paragraph or two? How do you explain what he has done to complete my
life?
Ten years ago a little scar faced puppy was at a yard sale.
All his brothers and sisters had been adopted but the little boy
remained. When asked about him the woman replied no one wants
him-he's going to be put down. He was scarred at birth because he
was stuck during delivery and His mommy had to pull him out. His
owners never had a vet fix him up. They personally docked his tail
and made a mistake and cut it completely off, not even a nib.
Well, my sister in law brought him to my Husband and I and it
was love at first sight God sent our baby to us. He was our first
dog and we had no children so began Our new family. He wasn't
housebroken and had never been indoors before but that baby potty
trained with only one mistake in the house-EVER!
He went everywhere with us, riding in my lap until he got too
big then in the passenger seat always giving Momma his paw to hold
while we were driving. He loved to please-learning new tricks daily,
until he had learned every trick our brains could muster.
At the time we got Rocky I suffered from an addiction that was
ruining my life, marriage and destroyed my job. Rocky gave me
purpose to change. I gave up all my friends and my playgrounds. It
was just me and little Rocky going for walks and playing that got me
through. He didn't care that I was a recovering addict, he just
loved me. He showed my husband and I how to love unconditionally.
When our son came along, he would lay by his crib and keep him safe.
What a friendship they built. He's truly my husbands' dog, He'd do
everything and anything for this man. He looks deep into his eyes
and says God, I Looovvveeee you Daddy. When you come home he's
always there to greet you with a butt wiggle and his ball. He loved
to bark at the trash truck, mail mail, and UPS man. His favorite
part of everyday til Friday was going Conner's school in the
afternoon-just so all the kids could love on him. He was my gentle
giant. You ought to have seen this dog jump for bubbles- he could
spring four feet plus off the floor to get the hightest ones, while
flipping back doing a half gurney to catch the rest. He loved the
water and would fetch sticks to the point on near exhaustion.
I've just brushed the surface with the glories of his
magnificence. I don't want to remember this last week, I KNOW HE
JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE HIMSELF. He was so weak, so grumpy and too
sick to eat. He fell during a walk Friday, but after numerous tries
got back to his feet and walked onto my truck. He wouldn't let me
help, he was so proud and had such a strong spirit. You did go for a
walk with me Saturday night and we sat atop the hill and watched the
stars together. You let me hold you and cuddle all weekend.
ROCKY WAS TRULY A ONCE IN A LIFETIME TIME DOG-And the Dow
family was surely blessed to have had this small glimpse of Heaven.
Dad and I held you in our arms as you took you last breath
yesterday.
God's Speed my love, you will always be with us, heart and
soul. Please look for all the furangels at the bridge they're
waiting to keep you company until we get to hold you again.
I love you sweet prince-my friend, my soulmate, my heart.
Thank you for a job well done.
much love Ging
