Rocky was the lovingest and most hunt-crazy of dogs. He was a companion as much as the bird dog. Today was his 15th birthday and his last day. I'll see you soon, Rocky-Socky... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/VYoUu21.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Ew5ZVeW.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Z5R9dtJ.jpg)

Condolences, L2S. Always difficult to say goodbye to a member of the family, regardless of how many legs they have.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Have to admit how much better off we are simply from having them in our lives.
Sounds like he was a good 'un.

Sorry to hear, Bruce.
I lost my pal in May at 14 1/2. Still hurts.
May they enjoy the happy hunting grounds as much as we enjoyed them.

Nobody didn't love Rock. He was a tank of a dog...big and strong, but he was so gentile, too. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EF4YfQu.jpg)

The House Dog's Grave (Haig, an English bulldog)
I've changed my ways a little; I cannot now
Run with you in the evenings along the shore,
Except in a kind of dream; and you, if you dream a moment,
You see me there.
So leave awhile the paw-marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking-pan.
I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do
On the warm stone,
Nor at the foot of your bed; no, all the night through
I lie alone.
But your kind thought has laid me less than six feet
Outside your window where firelight so often plays,
And where you sit to read--and I fear often grieving for me--
Every night your lamplight lies on my place.
You, man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying
A little dog would get tired, living so long.
I hope than when you are lying
Under the ground like me your lives will appear
As good and joyful as mine.
No, dear, that's too much hope: you are not so well cared for
As I have been.
And never have known the passionate undivided
Fidelities that I knew.
Your minds are perhaps too active, too many-sided. . . .
But to me you were true.
You were never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end. If this is my end,
I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.
Robinson Jeffers, 1941

Bruce,
he's waiting 'round the bend for you:
THE PATH BEYOND THE BEND
Have you ever walked along a path
And looked ahead of you
To where the road turned suddenly
And seemed lost awhile from view?
Think of your dear one living still
Where the road goes on without end
It is only WE who do not see
The path beyond the bend

Sorry to hear that Bruce. It’s just as bad as losing a family member.
