FIRESIDE, IN SHOW RING, IN FIELD WITH THE GUN.
JUST
MARRED BY THAT FACTOR OF SEVEN TO ONE,
IF ONLY OUR YEARS COULD CONCURRENTLY RUN.

ROCKY OUR ETERNAL PETER PAN WHO LOVED LIFE AND LIVED IT TO THE FULL RIGHT TO THE END PASSED AWAY ON NOVEMBER 3RD 2009. THANKFULLY ROCKY, WHO WOULD HAVE HATED TO HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED IN ANY WAY WAS OUT FOR HIS WALK THREE DAYS BEFORE HE DIED AND AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS SLIPPED AWAY PEACEFULLY IN HIS SLEEP. AT 14 ½ ROCKY LIVED TO BE A “GOOD AGE” BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE THE PARTING ANY EASIER AND WHEN HE LEFT US ROCKY LEFT A MASSIVE VOID IN OUR HOME. THANKFULLY HE LIVES ON IN HIS MANY OFFSPRING AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIS DAUGHTER & GRANDAUGHTER LIVING WITH US.
ROCKY
WAS OUR FIRST “SHOW DOG” AND DID US PROUD BY GAINING HIS SHOW CHAMPIONSHIP
TITLE BUT THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR ROCKY AND FOR US WAS THE DAY HE OBTAINED HIS
QUALIFYING CERTIFICATE AND BECAME A “FULL CHAMPION.” HOW YOU ENJOYED
THAT DAY OLD MAN!!!
It
broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
Your face is not forgotten, we see it every day.
It’s the heartache of not having you, that never goes away
