Moving on.  Those two words keep going through our minds.  Moving on after Rocky has died is the theme now.  Trying to be good to one another, to talk about Rocky, laughing at this antics, crying together when we need to.  


It's hardest for me in the mornings and evenings.  Those are the times when I would go get him to eat, and pet him and also to walk him.  Every night he'd come in and lie in the floor, with someone petting him or scratching his belly.  Often he'd eat a rawhide and then drift off to sleep.  When Wes got up to go to bed, he'd come kiss my cheek and say goodnight. Rocky would ALWAYS jump up, run down the stairs and walk into his crate to settle in for a night of rest.  


He was highly trainable because of his love for FOOD, lol.  He would sit, roll over, etc.  And you could hold food in your hand and he'd not take it until you told him it was okay.


Someday we hope to have another dog. That's what Rocky would have wanted.  Maddie said to me today that if we'd taken in another dog when Rocky was lost, and he'd have found his way home, he would never have been thinking we'd replaced him.  His thought would have been, "Awesome, they've gotten another dog for me to play with."    Truly, he would have thought that!


So, we're sharing memories and just doing what feels good.  Reading, talking, baking cookies.  Tyler and Maddie have been spending time working in some math books lately, just to keep their skills up. Wes has been reading some books.  We're together, taking comfort in each other's presence and moving on.  For the glory of the Father.  And, to the honor and memory of Rocky.
