Today My baby Rocky made his way home to be with his Daddy Rocco, Mother Bella and his brothers and sister and many friends. I am having a difficult time today. But I will set up more pictures and tell you so much more about my baby boy. To me he was the best gift God could give to me. He lived a long life, I wish he was still with me. But I am honored of having him in my life he made my life so much better and brighter. He gave unconditional love and was loved more then I can say. He will truly be missed and will never be forgotten.

Rocky thank you so much for being part of mine and Efren's life. You will always be with us. We Love you Baby Boy.

The song the Climb is dedicated to you Rocky from Daddy Joe and Daddy Efren.

My other promise Rocky will be my memorial on my arm I will work on a design for the tattoo.  Everyone here will see the design and the finished work.

There are new photo's I have placed in his photo album and slide show. I have so many photo's from when he was a baby tell the last week of his life. I even found some video on my phone that I am going to put in here. Thing is I am in no photo's I am always behind the camera.  More to come and stories I am working on them.

I will put more photos and many stories I have to tell about this jewel God loaned me for almost 15 yrs.

Rocky in Daddy Efren arms.

Rocky: with his daddy Efren. I know Rocky loved Efren so much he was always chasing after him. But there was enough love to go around. I know Efren was living in Las Cruces Rocky would miss him he would go spend weekends there with his Grama Rosa. We have decided not to tell her yet because she has been very sick. You know during the time Rocky was sick you could see in his eyes he knew we were trying everything to keep him alive. I would see his little eyes telling me he loved us so much. I have been asked why would I do so much, well the only answer I can tell you is until you have that relationship, the unconditional love, the tail wagging the perky ears the excitement when you walk in the door you dont know love. For me the days I had to spoon feed him baby food, if God told me today he would send him back but I would have to still feed him and everything else I would do it until I was gone myself.  You will always be in my heart.

The plant that bloomed 12/15/09

This plant has never bloomed it is my garden room and well we have had snow and freezing weather over the past several weeks. And on the day we went in to the Green room there was this plant that we hardly ever water blooming. The other thing was we stopped to eat breakfast on the day Rocky passed and in right in front of me and Efren was a sign Going to Heaven. Are these signs that he is telling us something? In my heart I say yes! my baby is telling me he is home with his family and one day he will come down that path and take me home also. You know I get excited thinking of it happening

What would be one of my most memoriable moments? There are so many to be honest. Rocky was a small dog but a protector of his family and home. He was the best little guy you could every have. I remember the day he was born. He was so small and wiggling around I watched as the days passed his little eyes opened, his puppy breath. I can still smell it every so often, he was so cute. At 5 weeks he was brought home his mother could not feed all of the puppies he came from a litter of 5. The first day was something his Daddy Rocco was by himself and then to have a puppy around, it was funny. He would chase Rocco all around couldnt keep up but in time he was right next to him. I remember the first week Rocco would jump up on the chair in the bedroom to get away from him but Rocky was smart he learned to climb up to be with his daddy. Over all Rocky learned very quick. It came to the point Father and son would always do things together. we lived in San Diego and they loved going for a walk down by the pier and the ocean. police would stop to pet little Rocky and watch him run in the grass it was taller then him looked like a little mouse running. My Baby was so cute. He learned fast and was so strong. And loved to play rough with his daddy but Rocco would put him in his place. You know these 2 guys would corner cats and it was like they would set them up and the cat would have no get away. When a cat came in to the yard I knew they would corner the poor cat. we tried to make sure they would never hurt any other animal. one thing my Boys would protect thre little friends because we had other animals that people would just leave at our door, hamsters, birds  we had so many animals. Even here in El Paso my boss asked me was I going to open an aminal rescue. I had people bring me so many pets at one time I have over 100 lovebirds, parakeets of all colors, finches, parrots all in my green room. Now today it is so hard but my little Rocky brightend my life and made me a better person.

 You know my Rocky was a hero to me. I remember when I became sick from food poising what a bad experience. i honsetly feelI would have died, from it. Any how I was sick for about 2 weeks and if you ever had food poising you know what it is like. I was so weak I could not even walk. I remember crawling to the rest room (yes crawling). I even passed out in the bathroom and when I was found who was by my side licking my face my Baby Rocky. I had passed out several times and there by my side would be my baby. I would have food, water and juices near me and you know any other time Rocco and Rocky would have taken off and eaten it well I was a sleep. But during this time it seemed like they knew that I needed that food and water. I recall sleeping and my baby would lay right next to me in my arm I would wake up with him staring at me like asking if I was okay. I know he knew I was sick and both stayed by my side. I am still emotional on Rocky's passing.

I still have stories of him being around the building. He loved being here 2 big back yards, upstairs, workers who would give him free bites of there food. What a guy he had it made he had everyone very well trained. With that let me think of a few things and get back this memorial is going to be a big one believe almost 15 yrs of memories and myself and Daddy Efren are going to write wait tell you hear stories from Efren. You know Rocky you were truly loved.

My early Christmas present from a dear friend here at Critters.com. If it was not for this person I would never have gotten through all difficult time. Lauvern, you have been there through all my hard times from Rocco to my baby Rocky. I also want to take some time for a dear friend Carol who has been there for me. I have met so many wonderful people here who are so caring and loving. I guess God put us all together to care for these beautiful loving devoted furbabies, and here we have become one family. I want to send out seasons Greetings to all, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of the years as is always.

This is Faith she was a rescue dog from Las Cruces New Mexico. Not a replacement for my boys, but I think they had some kind of push for her to come in to my life on 5/08/10. I went to buy Fish food and came home not only with fish food but a little dog who I named Faith. Faith because when I saw her at the rescue adoption on that Saturday she was the only small dog in the kennals on top of a huge dog that everytime he moved her cage would shake she was so scared. The thing is a few weeks before she came out in the paper as a dog up for adoption (an ad they run to get people to adopt). Well they took her out of the cage and let me hold her and I dont know but her little paws went into my arms and she was holding on and not letting go of me. These adoption places ask for 70.00 for an adoption and it covers everything. The Vet on hand told me that this was her last week on sunday or monday she would be put down. The she excused herself went in and started talking to a lady inside. Me still holding this little baby. Then all of a sudden the 2 ladies come out and start talking to me both are Vets telling me how much she loved being in my arms. I told them the story of my Rocco and Rocky and not a dry eye was found in the group. Well that day Rocco and Rocky's warmth was on Faith the story gave way to the adoption group to give her to me (yes free). Faith and I became a family in her forever home, and my new best friend. In many ways I feel Rocco and Rocky set me up on this leading me to her and her to me. At night when we go to bed I call her and she comes running I pick her up and just like Rocco and Rocky she sleeps right next to me. She is an old girl they said at the time she was 11 yrs old so we have some time together and we will treasure every minute together. She is perfect loving, caring best little girl you would ever want in your life. She always stays by my side and listens when called. Rocco and Rocky I know this was something from your doing to bring her in to my life I dont know why? but I am sure there is a reason. And some day I am sure I will know why. But until then my little friends I have to say THANK YOU guys so much she is the light of my life now. But you guys are always in my thoughts and I tell her about you guys and I think she knows what I tell her? I love you Rocco and Rocky.

This is Faith she got the name because I feel that Rocco and Rocky had faith in bring her into my life so she would not go to Rainbow's Bridge if she was not adopted that weekend in May. I am sure Faith thanks you a lot and one day will met you both.

If faith could talk she would tell you THANK YOU my hero's.
