Letter to Rocco
« on: September 09, 2009, 10:28:52 AM »
Hello to whoever maybe reading this....yesterday i lost my gorgeous gorgeous boy to kidney failure, it was so sudden and he was so poorly there was nothing we could do to help him and i feel completely lost in a fog at the moment. theres so many things i want to say about him and i thought it would really help for me to write them down on here.

Rocco, my little shadow, i miss you so much, your love, your kisses, the way you would thump your tail on the floor when i would look at you, the way you sat outside under my chair with your collection of things you had stolen (my shoe, a sock, a bone) and i would always hunt round the house for my trainer and scold you when i found it on your bed. the way you ran in and out of the corn when we took you for walks in the field, the way you loved to play frisbee in the garden, the way you followed me everywhere even to the toilet! you would always come to me and i would hug you and you would close your eyes and i hope that you knew how much i loved you - you were the dog i always wanted since i was a little girl and to me you were perfect. I am just so sorry that i couldnt do anything to help you but the best thing for you was to let you go and i knew that even though it tore me apart. Alfie misses you too and has not been himself, he didnt eat much breakfast this morning when normally he would eat his and try for yours aswell! You were took far far too soon you werent even 2 years old and there was so much more i wanted for you - i wanted to take you to devon to my favourite holiday place, i wanted the boys to grow up with you and i knew that they would love you just as much as i did. Everyone who met you is heartbroken too, everyone loved you - you truly were the best dog a family could ever wish for. The house and garden are so empty without you and i just want you back so badly, life is cruel. rest in peace my beautiful boy and maybe we will meet again some day.
Love forever xxxx

what a beautiful letter to your beloved Rocco, he was so obviously well loved, and he knew that, you have been so strong to let him go, a real testament to how much you loved him

run free Rocco, and for  you Bakesy, take care,

That is so sad  :'( I'm really sorry that you've had to say goodbye to your lovely boy. Only 2 years old, it's much too young  :'(

So very sad to hear this :'( Do let the breeder know - they can at least test the parents for FN (if they haven't already)

So sorry to hear about Rocco.  I also lost a cocker to kidney failure at a young age, and it is devastating and so unfair.
Will be thinking of you.
