| I am so sorry for your loss....my thoughts are with you. May you be blessed with fond and happy memories of your precious boy! |
| I knew it would be hard.........but I had no idea it would be this hard. |
| I am so sorry....seeing a new entry in the Rainbow Bridge section makes me sick to my stomach.
Rest assured you did what you had to do and Rocco always wanted YOU to be happy right? Soon all of your thoughts of Rocco will be only the happy times and the memories will make you smile....just like Rocco wanted. Somewhere, some day your heart will be filled again by another dog who, although it's not Rocco, will need your love and guidance and for you to teach it all the things Rocco taught you. God bless you in this tough time. |
| I am truly sorry about your loss of Rocco.
We had to put our GSD to sleep last February. He was 5 yrs old and in end stage cancer. It was so so hard to do. But we did right by him and took his pain away. You did right by Rocco! Just keep thinking about that. It does get easier. |
| Thanks for your kind words.
I have never been here before, and stumbled across these forums by chance. Reading the other threads in here gives me some comfort. It breaks my heart, and made me cry...but knowing that he had the same symptoms that alot of oes have was helpful. His hips were gone. I thought I'd have to say goodbye to him last xmas after a fall, but he got better, with alot of TLC. Friday night he slipped on the floor while we were gone, and when we had come home, he just couldnt get up. His left hind leg wouldnt function. By Saturday morning he hadnt moved from his spot. Even when they carried him on a stretcher into the vet's office, he wouldnt/couldnt get up. If there was any change of him recovering, it would have been then. I got him when he was 8 weeks old..........and he was 'my boy'. After he crossed the rainbow bridge, I whispered for him to 'come with me'.....I know if there is any chance....he is with me. I have 2 kids.......and it is honestly like losing one of them. I wake up and my heart hurts. I forget to breathe, and have to catch my breath. And I can't stop crying. |
| Awwww -- that's a beautiful, happy picture of your dear boy. I am so sorry for your loss. |
| You'll know that Rocco is with you always.
You'll know it when you see something out of the corner of your eye and think it was Rocco; you'll know it when a certain moment will happen and you'll think "Rocco would have reacted this way." Then you realize that Rocco had trained you pretty well to think just like he did. He is with you always. |
| I am so, so sorry over the loss of your dear sheepie Rocco. My heart is with you. Tears |
| He was a good, good boy.
When I think of the good days, I remember how he used to chase animals on the TV. And if anyone said " Look! " when the TV was on, he'd run and bark at the screen. |
| I so very sorry for the loss of your Rocco.
Take comfort in this wonderful site and the outstanding people here. When someone looses a Sheepie, we all feel the pain. My thoughts are with you and your family. Brenda |
| I am so sorry. Rocco looks like a beautiful boy. It has been just over 9 months for us since we lost our Mopsy so I know what you are going through. The memories of your "special family member" will last a life time. Take care. |
Your love for him will ensure that you carry him with you always. I am so very sorry for your loss.  |
| I am deeply sorry for your loss. Rocco lokked like a very handsome sheepie I am very glad that you found this forum though, we help each other in good times and in bad. Again I am so sorry for your loss |
| I am so sorry for your loss of your precious Rocco. Most of us here know the heartache, the emptiness of losing one of our "kids." And you're absolutely right - it is like losing one of your kids. When we lost our first boy, I'd wake up in the morning and immediately start crying. You described it perfectly - your heart hurts.
Take comfort in the fact that Rocco knew how much you loved him, appreciately that love and how you took care of him. And you know he wouldn't want you to be sad forever. Your memories of him will keep him in your heart forever. My thoughts are with you in your time of grief. |
| So sorry for your loss |
| My heart goes out to you on the loss of Rocco.
We lost our Maggie McGee IV in June and the hurt is still there. We know she's at the Bridge playing pain-free with all her sheepie friends. Take comfort in knowing that Rocco is there, too. |
| I am so sorry for your loss.... |
| I am so sorry for your loss, what a lovely happy boy he was, always so hard when you have to say goodbye. Thinking of you and Rocco at this sad time. |
| My tears flow for you! I know the pain you are feeling. I lost my boy, Winston 33 days ago.
Rocco looks so much like Winston. I bet Rocco, Winston, and Tramp are running again, together! Hugs to you! |
I am so sorry for your loss. Your sheepie was well loved and cared for.  |
| It is never easy to say good bye to unconditonal love. When ever I have had to help one of my dogs cross the bridge, I envison them hunting with the hounds and swimming with the retrievers, no longer in pain and tongues and tails wagging. I know your pain is unbearable now but know you gave your sheepie a wonderful life and the last unselfish thing you did was to help Rocco make his last journey in your arms. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Rocco. You will always get wonderful support from this forum. |
| We loss our Jake ( black lab ) a year ago July 31st, our 29th anniversary. It was one of the most traumatic events of our lives. It does get easier but you will never forget, nor should you. I still call our new dog, an old english, Jake by mistake. Our new best friend, Chauncey, understands as will yours. Take time to mourn and when it's time to move on to another pet you will know. You will always love Rocco, do not look for a replacement as you will never find him and it's isn't fair to a new love in your life....Kathy |
| Hi,
No words can take away the pain you feel at losing Rocco but perhaps you will find solace in knowing how much we understand your grief. Each time one of my cherished and much loved ones have crossed to the Rainbow Bridge I wish I could have had them forever. They will always live in my heart as will Rocco in yours. I'm sorry for your loss and hugs to you. Marianne and the boys |
| I'm so sorry about your boy This forum has lost many of our beloved sheepies this year, including my Beau in February. Knowing it was the right thing to do doesn't make it easier, but some day you will think of him and be able to smile. |
|
I am so sorry for what you have lost. Nothing can ease your pain right now but I hope you can look back with joy on the wonderful years you had with your special joy. I am glad you found the forum and hope you will keep coming back. |
| So sorry to hear of your news. We are all here to support you.
Many of us have been in this situation and know the loss of a Sheepie family member. He will live on in your heart forever, and you and your family made his time here special with your love and care.... God Bless you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers........ |
| Thank You all, again, for all of your kind words. You have no idea how much you have helped me cope with this loss. |
| I am so sorry for your loss. To me that's is one of the most devastating things to happen in a lifetime. Losing your beloved Sheepie. May you find peace and comfort during this devastating time. Don't be surprised if you realize down the road that you've been in shock and done some ridiculous things. When we lost Katrina, I look back now and realize I was in so much grief that my behavior was unusual. Our thoughts are with you. |
| I am so sorry for what you're going thru. My sweet, sweet Trampy crosed the Rainbow Bridge with our help, October 6, 2006. My heart is still hurting and I miss my boy everyday. I even think I still hear him bark for us to come help him up or to go outside. I told Tramp before and after, not to leave, to stay here with me and believe he did.
I'm so happy you found some peace here. I did too and found a wonderful friend (Winston's mom), that has helped me thru one of the roughest times of my life. Tramp and Winston brought us together. StinkyPinky has brought you to us. Run Tramp, Winston and Rocco. Run Babies Run. |
| I just hate reading this section..the bridge section. I feel your loss and void, as though it had happened to me. The rememberance of that feeling never goes away. I'm so sorry. I know you are empty, and aching to hold Rocco one more time. Someday you will. And he will greet you with love and energy and gratefulness for your kindness. My deepest condolences to you... |
| Oh im so sorry for yr loss
|
| I know how dreadfully hard it is to lose a relationship you've had for so long. They are family members, not pets. We love them and they, us, unconditionally. I am so sorry for your loss and I know there will never be another Rocco, but I would hope you (in time) will give your heart to another Sheepie baby who needs your love. It sounds like you have so much love to give. |
| I still miss my boy. |
| I'm so sorry about Rocco. Sheepdogs have a way of crawling into our hearts. All they want to do is please us. They don't want the keys to the car or a new cell phone. If they talk back we find it loveable.
When they leave us, they leave a great wound. It took me 2-3 years before I could bring myself to get another after the first one's sudden death. When my sister in law lost her Miffy, she swore she'd never get another. It was too painful. And she hasn't. Even though I'm the opposite, I need to replace, I respect her for the burden she still carries. So if you do get another sheepdog or not, I'm joyous that you got to meet such a fun breed and gave your heart to him and he gave his heart to you. |

I still miss my big guy who passed in February 2003, but a lot less than I did 6 months after. The pain will continue to ease. Do you remember how very hard it was in the beginning? While I'm sure you still have your moments, I'm also sure it isn't nearly that intense anymore. If you ARE still feeling that intensely badly about it, please come here more and talk about it, or perhaps with a family member. Just remember we've all felt the same loss as you have, and we understand how much it hurts. |
| Join the forum and tell us about your boy. As I type this I can see a fresh grave, the one my Daisy was buried in on May 1. But sharing your memories really does help, the people here have hearts of gold. Post some pictures, tell us a cute story, anything that will help you.

| IT HAD FOR ME TO COME ONTO THIS SITE .. MY GIRLS ARE AT THAT AGE NOW SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR BOY |
| I knew it would be hard.........but I had no idea it would be this hard.
*********** That's how I felt exactly. Although I knew the end was inevitable, somehow I thought I would make peace with it and that I would know Abbey was no longer in any pain....But it's been a lot harder than I thought. I feel like I've been gutted since a part of me taken away.... But this forum is very good for helping when you feel like that, since the majority of the world won't be able to help you in the way that you need.... My thoughts are with you at this time. |
| i am so sorry to hear of your loss. time will heal and just know that he is not suffering anymore. he is now in a good place running with all the other sheepies who have passed. my thoughts are with you during this hard time. |
| How lucky your sweet boy was to have found this much love in his life. It is never long enough. How you loved him and he you is what really counts. Warm thoughts coming your way. |
