Our Rocky

by Bob Dorski

12 years ago, a neighbor had a prized show winning Black Lab. She was young, and the neighbor was waiting to mate her. No one knows where a Dalmation came from, there were no Dalmations in the neighbor-hood. No one was happy to find out the Dalmation was to be a father, except my son. He was there to see the "Bad" mix breed pups born. No one wanted these "Bad" mixed up pups. After about 7 weeks, my son brought home "Rocky". She was a great pet right from the 1st night. If she ever felt unwanted, my son made sure that feeling left her little mind the 1st day we had her. She loved to play and was always there to protect us if she felt we needed to be protected. It wasn't till she left us on Feb 15th, 2003 that we all found out where the Dalmation came from. We now know, he was an Angel sent by God to make our Rocky and sadly for us, we found out that on Feb 15th, God needed another Angel, so he came to take our Rocky. Now 3 months later, we still miss Rocky as much as we did that night on Feb 15th. Rocky was my best friend, and I will never forget her.
