We took Rocky in this morning to be put down. We couldn't stand the thought of him hurting anymore.
I know it was the right thing to do. He let me know before he slipped away.
I will forever cherish our time together. I feel better knowing that he is waiting for me, but it doesn't take away the pain. This experience has left a hole in my heart, and someday I will replace it with another love. Until then, it will have to heal, slowly, but I'm sure it will.
Thank you for anyone who sent kind words my way. I will forever remember.

I'm SOOO sorry for your loss of Rocky :( . My heart is aching for you. My sincerest condolences with Rocky's passing.
I know how hard it was for you to make the decision to let Rocky go to the Rainbow Bridge, I've been there many times and each times it hurts deep.
Cancer is so cruel when it also attacks our beloved pets, it's so unfair.
If it's any consolation this poem always helps us:
IF I SHOULD GROW FRAIL
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
for this - the last battle -can't be won.
You will be sad I understand
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close - we two -these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

I am so sorry about your loss of Rocky. I am literally sitting here crying over your loss (as well as my own loss of my dad). Cancer is such a cruel and devastating disease. I will pray amd ask my dad to look after Rocky for you until you get there to be with him.
