He was a sweetie.
Best wishes! :'(
Damn, that sucks... :-\
Sorry to hear that Joe.
For when you're ready for your next friend:

I'm so sorry Joe. Rocco was a wonderful spirit. :'(
Sorry Joe. He was a real people dog.
thanx for the kind words he just made everyday brighter for me and i will miss him immensely and to top it all off today was his 4th birthday and i feel responsible for not watching him better and he was alot more than just a pet to me he never complained and when i said lets go he was there for me.
Are you at home or out on the road?
im at home and will be home for awhile and i want to thank you jim for all your help you are a great guy and i think you and lauren make a great team.
:'(
It is a sad thing to lose a pet, just know that I am sure Rocco cherished the time he spent with you and that it is better to live one day of freedom in the light and then perish than to live 1000 years in a cage with only a window for light. You seemed to have let Rocco enjoy that light, and that is special.
Everybody loved that friendly and gentle dog.
Sorry Joe. He was a good dog.
rocco definetly lived a good life between having 100's of acres to play on when we were home and traveling around the country swimming(his favorite thing to do) never been caged rarely tied up and a owner that adored him I realize he was not a human and that might be what i liked best about him he never judged me and showed me unconditional love and he made lots of friends along the road I just feel responsible for giving him enough leeway to be in the road and atleast i know he didnt suffer and made no enemies I wish i could say the same for myself. One thing is for sure my life will be empty for quite awhile without that funny smile every morning. me being so upset over a dog might seem silly but having no children he was more of family than most of my siblings. guess there will be no more roxks in the truck. time heals all wounds. And i appreciate all the kind words because i know he made friends of the free staters the same as i have.
Dang. I loved Rocco. :(
I'm really sorry to hear that, Joe. I know what it's like to lose a dog you love like a child. For what its worth, he had a great life with you. :'(
Rocco at the Winchester build
He was a great dog and you obviously made each other very happy.
I'm sooo sorry my friend, I have no words to express my feelings. That little guy must have been a great friend. You all talk so good about him. Know that you'll never forget him and smile at the memory of his fluffy tale wagging in the morning.
God bless you and your little buddy.

Treasured Friend
I lost a treasured friend today
The little dog who used to lay
Her gentle head upon my knee
And share her silent thoughts with me...
She'll come no longer to my call
Retrieve no more her favorite ball
A voice far greater than my own
Has called her to His golden throne.
Although me eyes are filled with tears,
I thank Him for the happy years
He let her spend down here with me
And for her love and loyalty.
When it is time for me to go
And join her there, this much I know...
I shall not fear the transient dark
For she will greet me with her bark.

thanx kat
that is a very sweet poem and you a very sweet person that is a very touching poem and i know rocco and i will meet again cause he wasnt just my best friend i was his best friend.
Joe, I never met you or Rocco, but I understand your loss (I went through it, too). I'm so sorry. For me, pictures helped - all I had left were the memories, so I occasionally looked at my pictures and remembered fun trips, funny incidents, cute things. I hope your memories of Rocco keep you a little bit happy in this very sad time.
Best, most loyal friend I ever had was a dog. I miss you Kaos.
Joe, be glad you got to have some time with a good soul.
Sorry to hear the news. Both Aubern and I have dogs and they are our family. We've lost dogs before. I understand and I'm sorry.
I'm just hearing about this now. I hope you're doing better. Rocco was a great dog - even Otis got along with him.
