My beautiful ROCKY has died
44 Answers
Sorry to start a new question but it didn't feel right somehow to add this post to my original one.
I just wanted to let all of you know the tragic news that my baby has died.
A big thanks to everyone who cared about my baby enough to answer my original post. He passed away peacefully(i hope) at home. I feel so guilty because i had to pop out this afternoon and wasn't with him at the end.
I don't know what to do i just feel so lost, and to everyone who has had the joy of truly loving a pet will understand. I just hope and pray that he knew how much i loved him.
I feel blessed that i had 14 wonderful years with someone who i considered my best friend.
I have been told that he definately slippped away in his sleep. Which brings me a little comfort.
When i went out today i covered his cuddly toy in my moisturiser that i wear every day, so that he had my smell with him. Maybe he didn't want me to be there? This is something i'll never have the answer to.
The one thing that i do know to be true in my heart is that he died with respect, love and dignity and i couldn't have wished for better.
I have arranged for his cremation to take place tomorrow and i will have him back by the weekend. That way he will remain with me always.
I just hope that he is at peace, my baby, my best friend!
Love to you all Trudy and ROCKY R.I.PXXX I will miss him every day and will always carry him in my heart. I just can't believe he has gone.

I can't even begin to wonder how I'm gonna take it when my boy goes and I hope I have many more years with him yet.
I love my pooch to bits and I consider him my best friend simply because he was there when no one else was there in my darkest hours.
Dogs are angels, every last one.
Unconditional, unjudgemental, loving, loyal, and those of us lucky enough to have known them as family and friends know what it's like to lose them.
RIP Rocky. You now have your wings.

so sorry to hear this Trudy...Your hopes were raised so high,cos he was doing so well too :-(...He'll just have gone to sleep in the middle of a dream. He felt soo much love and caring and was surrounded by your smell and comfort. You have done all you could for him and that will be a big help to you now and in the future. We all understand what you're going through..cos it's horrendous and I'm in tears myself here. Big hugs and all my thoughts are with you xx
sorry to hear about your loss, RIP Rocky
I wish you well, I am a huge animal and pet fan but as I rent I cannot have dogs or cats so I have indoor guinea pigs and rabbits, they are very lovely pets and I love them dearly but when I lose one it is just heart breaking. I bury my pets in a reatives garden in a very stong box I put their favourite items in the box, toys, hay, photos of the family, and then I tape the box up and decorate the whole box on the outside with drawings of them and messages of love and hearts etc, its all part of the mourning for me to do this I couldnt just throw them in a hole.
I am getting used to death alot more these days in the past I would lose pets and I thought I would never get over the loss but since the loss of my brother 2 yrs ago aged 28 I really have excepted what happens and I feel more positive about what happens after and where your loved one goes.
I feel that my loved ones are all happy and waiting for me somewhere, time doesnt exist there so they are not waiting as long as we have been missing them. I know in my heart its a better place where they are it's a safe place, Im not ready to go right now I have the rest of my life ahead of me and children to have but I dont really feel worried about dieing because I am that convinced of the what there is to come for me and all the people and animals I love.

He knows how much you loved him everyday, even on your bad days, when he did something wrong, or that day when you were in a bad mood becuase you felt ill. He is wise and clever enough to see through that a appreiciate the love you gave him everyday whether you visually showed it or not. He's probably thinking the same thing, hoping you knew how much he loved you. I dont know if they can see us and watch us from where they wait for us, but when I think about them I feel positive that they feel it somehow in some form, connected in someway maybe just our souls.
Think loving thoughts to him where he is now and he will know how you feel!

To dearest Trudy and your wee family.
I was so sorry to read your post this morning and I have to apologise for not getting back sooner but the tears were flowing, i know how you feel, as will everyone else here, the loss of a beloved companion is so hard, so difficult to come to terms with.
Trudy, you loved wee Rocky from the moment you took him on as a wee scrap of a thing, you loved him for 14 years and yes, you cared for him in his last wee days. You two were a match made in heaven and Rocky would have known that - all those years - right up to when he passed peacefully away.
He would only have known love from you and I guess he returned that love bigtime.
As you say, he passed away with respect, love and dignity.
Bless him,
Trudy, he will always be with you in spirit and in your heart - i believe our wee departed pets live on.
I bet he's up in doggy heaven now looking down on you with a spring in his step. You will never forget him, I know that - remember the wonderful years you had with each other and the love you had for each other.
The two of you were so lucky to meet up and have a lifetime of companionship. The longing never goes away but it slowly eases with time - wee Rocky will always be with you in spirit.xx
You are in our thoughts always - alfie n pup xxxxxx
Please don't lose touch. xxxxxxx

Thankyou so much for your posts.
I can't stop crying and just feel utterly devestated. He has been such a huge part of my life that i now feel very lost without him.
I love Rocky with all my heart and soul and told him these last few weeks that we will indeed meet again, in a better place.
I have to be strong for my kids and of course Rocky's son Shep who is now 13. (Rocky was a young starter ha ha!). He caught my mam and dad's border collie when he was just 9 months old.
My parents kept Lassie and i kept Shep. They were born on my mam's birthday 22nd October which is when Shep will be 13. Beauty's waters broke whilst she was on my knee and i ended up having to help her deliver them because as she was only 2 she didn't know what to do.
As you can see i have been in my dogs lives since they were born really and am all they have ever known.
I must have had a bond with Rocky especially as when i pulled up outside the house yesterday i couldn't come in.
I just had an awful feeling and i felt sick. My friend who was walking past with his dog noticed my expression and asked what was wrong and i told him that i thought my Rocky had died.
He told me he would wait outside while i checked. I knew from the second i walked through the door that he had gone. He did look like he was asleep, which was a blessing really.
I just felt distraught that i wasn't there but as i explained in my earlier post, i think that is the way he maybe wanted it.
He will be so sadly missed by all who knew him. He was such a character, from taking himself for a walk, to opening all the doors in the house, to pinching custard creams which were his favorites. I couldn't even share many stories, i would have to write a book.
These are the things today that have made me smile, even just for a moment.
I know the pain i am feeling will fade, but i have no doubt in my mind that i will never forget my brave, beautiful,

We loved each other right to the end.
It was such a precious time. Sad yes but precious that we went through it all together. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way and i'm sure he wouldn't have. Like i say i just hope he can see into my heart and see all the love that is there for him, always.
I think he did know just how much he meant to me, as i also know deep down how much i meant to him.
We were meant to find each other all those years ago and i swear i wouldn't change one thing.
I love you always Rocky, my baby. Goodnight godblessxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is the saddest thing, I have tears in my eyes reading your touching thoughts about Rocky. I feel that through your post that I knew Rocky. I'm sure it must be a relief to you that Rocky died in his own time and you didn't have to make that decision you were dreading. I have lost pets both dogs and cats over the years and it is never ever easy. Take care cherrypoker, my thoughts are with you. I'm sure you are familiar with Rainbow Bridge but here it is anyway.

Trudy there is nothing i can say you did your best for him he knew he was loved so much, i firmly believe he waited for you to go out so you did not have to see him go, he will always be with you at your side you just wont be able to see him but i am sure at times you will feel him near .love to you all Ruth xxx
Trudy, i don't know you but i feel your loss and your sorrow....i have tears in my eyes like everyone else on this page..........you will get past this but it takes time. I sometimes feel i love my pooch too much as i know when his time comes its gonna kill me.
Rocky will be at peace, and he knew you loved him. But he won't want you to be sad, and neither do I.............
