RIP Rocky

My daughter Erin had to put down her boxer Rocky today. He was a terrific dog and lived to the ripe age of 12 which is pretty good for the breed. Here are some photos of Rocky, Erin and family members.

Here's Erin with a much younger Rocky - he was her constant companion.

Here's Rocky as a young dog, full of beans.

My son David found out that Rocky wasn't much of a conversationalist.

Rocky was very patient and gentle with Joel and Jamie.

He loved the cottage. Here he is on a winter outing.
