My precious Rocky is at the Bridge

[Rocky's-Mom]

God I knew this would be hard but my heart is absoluely breaking into. Rocky had a terrible night and was up coughing and breathing hard the entire night and crying. Of course I was crying too. We were on the floor , in the bed, on the sofa and he could not rest peacefully. He was coughing up blood. I prayed to God thru the night to give me the strength to let him go. Although he had a small wiggle this am..he didn't want to eat and those big sad eyes just looked at me. I believe that he was holding on because he knew how hard this was for us to let him go. He was one gentle giant as my husband called him. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. I had a long talk with him and told him it was time for him to run and be free of pain. I really feel like I held on too long as it was. With the tumor so large but he was determined to live on but as they say it is the last thing you can do for them. Right now that doesn't make me feel any better. He lay there like a trooper and went very easily looked in my eyes. I know the one poem says stay with me until my eyes no longer see. Hubby and I were both crying our eyes out. This was my empty nest syndrome baby. He was loved so very much and loved us so very much...rest in peace my Little Angel Baby...YOU will ALWAYS be with us in our hearts forever...there will NEVER be another Rocky...we love you so....run free and wait for us......Mom & Dad

Oh my heart sank when I saw your post. I'm so sorry your baby has lost the fight to stay with you - boxer burn at the bridge Rocky until you are all together again.

I've been following your posts and just saw this one. Tears are flowing! He is finally at peace now and pain free. Big HUGS to you. Run free at The Bridge sweet Rocky!

I am so sorry. I know this has been a long journey for you and your family. I know your hearts are breaking, and it will take some time to heal. Know that he is always with you, and thanks you for ending his pain. My heart goes out to you all. Hugs.

I am crying with you right now. I have followed your posts on Rocky and he wanted to be with you as long as he could. It was time for him to go though..to be free of his pain. It is so hard to let them go...we were with our Capone as he shut his eyes for the last time also. I think we all forget our loving furry kids are not going to be with us as long as we would like them to be. It's so very hard when that day comes and reality hits. Your Rocky will be waiting to see you again at the Bridge and in the meantime he will run free of pain playing with the rest of our beloved friends. Godspeed sweet Rocky....

I am so so sorry for your loss. May sweet memories comfort you. Rocky's spirit is soaring at the bridge now. God bless you and your angel boy

My heart is breaking for you. I went through the same pain a week ago, and I know how painful this is.

He let you know...he was ready. Whether you were or not. But he is free now of all the pain and discomfort, and is happy and bouncing and running at the Bridge.

*BIG HUGS* to you and you family. It hurts so bad...I know. But you made the right decision...

Run free Rocky, and give Semmi a big ol' lick from me!

I don't know what to say other than I am so so sorry. I know how hard it is to do what you had to do and how empty you feel. He was obviously a precious boy and his life was full of love, he was so lucky to have you for parents. Rest in Peace sweet Rocky! Say hello to Killian for me.

I am so very sorry for your loss of Rocky:( I am crying after reading this post, but he is in better place now where like you said he can run pain free again. I know that is no consolation to you now, but in time it will. I have followed your posts since joining this board and I really want you to know what an inspiration both you and Rocky are to not only me and Josi, but many others on here as well. Through strength, dignity, and love...you both have showed us all what it means to love and be loved by a boxer. Please keep us posted on how you are doing and we will say a prayer for both of you.
