It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we must announce the passing of our Rocky. He went to the bridge today at 4:40pm. He passed after a short but very couragous battle with what did turn out to be bone cancer. The cancer had become aggressive and turned his bone so brittle it had broken at the wrist and with the bone being so bad there was nothing that we could do. He had also begun to lose his balance and his breathing was becoming very heavy even after just a walk of 50 feet.
He was the best friend anyone could ever have and we are just devastated at his loss. We will miss his funny singing and groaning when rubbing his ears. Even more we will miss the snuggles and the kisses that he gave to just about everyone he met. He was just such a happy boy that he really was a ray of sunshine and could cheer you up no matter how you were feeling.
We would like to express our profound gratitude to everyone who has sent prayers and well wishes in hopes that Rocky would recover. It has really meant alot to us.
Until we meet again my old friend, run free and happy and save a big rooo and sloppy kiss for us. We miss you already.
Rocky's family.

I am so very, very sorry to hear of Rocky's passing. For the brief time I knew him at the kennel, it was easy to see he was a wonderfully loving boy. I'm so glad he was part of such a caring family.
I know you must be in pain with this loss, but you did the best you could for him and loved him for all that he had to offer.
My heart goes out to you.
Run free and without pain Rocky.
Lisa
