The Word Sad Cannot Begin To Touch This Day

Our much beloved Rockers has passed away.  He was sick about a month ago with a high fever but bounced back after an injection of antibiotics.  For the last two days, he wasn't eating, but still wanted to go on his walk yesterday morning.  He quit eating yesterday (including his cookies!) and slept almost all the time.

Phil took him to the vet this morning and we were all pretty much expecting another injection of antibiotics, but we were mistaken.  Phil said between the house and the clinic he began to decline in a major way.  Dr. Smith said his temperature was fine, but something "catastrophic" was going on internally; something that could not be fixed.  Rockers heart was not beating properly and he did not have circulation to his extremities.

Our whole family mourns his passing.  He was originally Bronwyn's dog, so she and Mike are as upset as Janet and Phil.  Noodles and Rockers came as a package deal.

 He was the most sweet and loving dog.  Thanks to Mike and Bronwyn for bringing Noodles and Rockers into our lives.

Last night with Janet's best buddy boy doggie.

The end of the hallway where his "sectional" was.  The empty space at the end of the hallway equates the hole in our hearts.

Phil moved the water down to the "sectional" as Rockers had been incredibly thirsty for the last couple of days.
