RIP Rocky Dog
It is the 1 year anniversary today of the passing of sweet Rocky dog. What a good boy. Yesterday each time when I would go up stairs I would look out our back window and I could see the dog that lives at the house behind ours. His coloring and size is a lot like Rocky's. Everytime I would check on him he would be laying on a different spot in the yard just taking a snoozer, enjoying the sunshine. Made me think of Rocky and how appropriate that is at this time of year. We do miss him...

I love Rocky. He truly was a wonderful dog. Shawn and I would take him for walks. I know Shawno's has a hard time. He doesn't feel that he was able to say goodbye. But I want you to know that he knows you and Brandt loved him and was glad he ended up with you guys.
I have never told you and Brandt this, but I have to tell you that I am embarrassed and so ashamed. Letting Rocky go is one of my greatest regrets. I was stupid to let him go and so completely selfish and mean to give him up. I am so very sorry. Really. I have thought about him so much and how he was my buddy for such a long time. I still remember vividly as mom and I went to the pound to get a dog. I was 17 and with Shawn leaving on his mission and Jason already gone, I needed a buddy. Dad said no, but mom knew he would warm up to the idea eventually. We went cage to cage and then there he was beside his brother. Big chocolate eyes staring up at us. We fell instantly in love. He went everywhere with me. He was my constant companion and best buddy. I don't know how I got to be so cold and uncaring to let him go. I really do miss him and this post made me cry as I felt the regret. It was such a crappy example to my little ones about caring for and loving an animal and I'll never get over the regret. Thank you so much for loving him, caring for him, nursing him back to health countless numbers of times, and for not hating me (too much) for dumping him off to you. I have so many regrets and this breaks my heart and I wish I could go back and change it all. You guys are the best. xo
