A Rocky Road

He's a good furiend to me.  A gentle giant who likes to nuzzle my lil nose...He is my ROCKY



He is only 8 and late last fall, sadly he was diagnosed with Lymphoma

We said our goodbyes before he left for warmer weather in Mexico, as we weren't sure he would make it through the winter....

But he came back to Montana in the spring and although he has good days and bad days,
my pal ROCKY is still (thankfully) doing okay!

~PAWS CROSSED~


Cancer is the worst.  It's not welcome in any of our lives, yet it shows up anyway.

It takes our days and brings worry and sadness...it eats at our goodness one bite at a time.

Cancer is not fair.  It does not discriminate.  None of us are immune from it's ravage.

Not animals, not family, friends, not even children.

All the Whys in the World cannot Answer to Cancer


So ...we have to cherish the days and the moments we have!

Live while the living is good.

Play More

Sleep Less

Spend Time Together



We can't wait for Tomorrow

Nuzzle
Hug
Snuggle
Kiss

Time is fleeting



May God Bless those whose road is Rocky

  1. Good for Rocky - cancer is horrible. We have had our share of it both in our humans and dogs. Rocky is so sweet. We hope he has many more tomorrows with you there in Montana. Please give him a big smoochie from us.

  9. I am so glad you got to see your pal Rocky one last time. I haven't personally known any dogs that have cancer but I have knows plenty of humans. It's sad.

  11. Well done Rocky - excellent news that your buddy (who looks like such a lovely buddy too!) is back. And amen to that - cancer is a horrible, awful, horrendous disease. We need to live each day with gratitude and happiness and love. She tells me every day that I remind her to do that so I see it as my full time job to make sure She doesn't forget all the blessings we have! And you, Scrappy, do an amazing job of reminding us all as well!

    Good luck to Rocky.

  16. Alright! Rocky is super fine. He is lucky to have parents who care deeply for him that they're willing to transfer to a warmer weather. I'm sorry to hear that he has lymphoma but I am glad he came to visit you.

  20. So very sad to hear about the cancer - since almost 50% of dogs will contract cancer in their lifetimes, it's a valuable blog post.

    I am dropping by on the blog hop today to share an inspiring story about a parrot rescue lady in Canada. Watch the video and I know you'll be inspired.

    Have a great rest of the weekend with your fur-kid.
