It is with a heavy heart,I am sad to say my good boy Rocky has passed. Only 4years and 42 days old he went this evening peacefully at home. A form of Leukemia first surfaced at 30 months but after he went to animal hospital he seemed to improve and get better until about 3 weeks ago back to Vet and than home he had good days and bad days but he was ALWAYS a good boy.He actually got up this morning went for a walk and marked all of the neighborhood as his alone and at 140Lbs + no one argued with him,came back and ate his breakfast took his meds and went to sleep..all normal he was walking around all afternoon not active but OK,  than around 5:25 he whimpered to go out and I saw he could barely get up the steps he went out front laid down and with Nicky and me loving him up he went to Heaven, I loved this dog and he managed to make me laugh and smile on his last day on earth.  He came home to die with his family rubbing his back and head and he wanted to go to sleep in his yard.We should all be so lucky. He's sleeping in his spot and watching  and protecting us from his favorite place. R.I P. Rocky my good boy.
