Our Rocket.... In Loving Memory...

Uploaded: July 08, 2009

Description

We lost a very special part of our world last week....July 2, 2009... Rocket taught us about unconditional love.... and we miss her more than anyone could every imagine... Who would have thought a stray hound dog that we took in would have such an impact in our lives.... Thank you, Rocket... for being a part of our family for eleven wonderful years.... and for giving us Jazz, who still looks for you every day.... We will never forget you...

Oh, I'm so sorry!!! It's so hard to lose them, isn't it? I lost my 10 year old cat, Boo on June 2, so I can really say I know how you feel. It's going to get easier they tell me, but so far it's not happening for me. Rocket was a beautiful dog! #1151770

I am very sorry to hear about Rocket. I lost four pets last year and it still is rough. I love the way you captured this image. The eyes say I loved you and it is ok. Take care ~ Sarah :0) #7722531

Thank you Carolyn and Sarah... It's very tough to lose such a big part of your life... I so miss stepping over her as she slept on our porch.. and that thump of her tail when she heard our voices.... #7722768

Oh :( you're gonna make me cry. What a beautiful hound dog with such captivating eyes. I have an old hound dog myself and I dont know what I'm going to do when the time comes. I keep telling him he has to live forever. So sorry Joyce. #7723425
