He was a dear and brave soul and your best friend. <br />Cry as much as you want my dear, it helps.<br />He will be sorely missed by all of us who read your blog....we all shared your love for him immensely. <br />You can talk to him every day when you are in the garden. I have seven dogs buried in my garden, and I talk to them all the time.<br />It was really hard when I had to make "that" decision for two of my babies, but we have to love them enough to let go at the right time.<br />Rest assured that he will always be with you in spirit.<br />Lots of hugs and tons of love.<br /><br />VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-27233160032765916552016-09-15T21:00:20.850+01:002016-09-15T21:00:20.850+01:00I'm sorry to hear about Rocky Ilona, our pets ...I'm sorry to hear about Rocky Ilona, our pets are family members and it's so hard when they die. Our last guinea pig died earlier this year, he was 6 and a real character, I knew he was fading fast even after 2 visits to the vet. He kept trying to climb on my knee poor old lad, which he never did, so sad. I was more gutted than my son.

Here I am in Australia mourning the loss of a dog I never met, but I know that you will feel his loss very much more. I still miss my cat who died 10 years ago, even though I have two dogs now. I don't know how long you had Rocky, but he certainly was lucky to have such a loving home with you.

Their ashes are in urns in our loungroom. My husband still buys gifts for our sons and me and writes from our dogs every Christmas. They were a part of our family as Rocky was yours.

I look at my own dog he's a labrador cross, almost twelve, arthritic and a diabetic for the last 15 months and I know his time with us is limited so I love love love him every day, just as you did with Rocky. I hope his journey when he leaves us will be a peaceful one just like Rocky's, bless him. Still thinking of you, keep strong.

Please take time to reflect and to grieve as the loss of a beloved pet is as painful if not more than the loss of a human. You've had two losses to deal with and come to terms with so you need to be kind to yourself. Rocky was more than just a companion and friend so his passing will have affected you deeply. Take care.

Such a difficult decision to make, and the "if only" thoughts are a trial, but he had a wonderful life with you, and you gave him such care. Glad he is in your garden. We have three of our dogs in ours, and one casket of ashes. We bought a rose called "Remember me" for Angie's grave, and "Blessings" for Holly's.

Cried buckets even when we had to have our dear little hamster put to sleep - I mean, crying over a rodent a few inches long! But they bring us such joy, our pets. They trust us and love us and we love them back. It is understandable you are so upset. Many hugs from me.<br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.com
