Missing my pup 3/11/21

I saw my neighbor today when I was going out to my car and he asked if we still had our dog Rocky. I had to tell him that over the summer he passed away. I thought I was ok at this point but clearly not because after I got into my car I burst into tears. Losing Rocky was sudden and traumatic, it happened in the middle of the night and my husband was out of state working in Boston.  I had to rush him to the emergency vet and the following day had to make the decision to put him to sleep because there was little chance of recovery from the stroke that he had. It was devastating. The vet happens to be my sisters best friend from childhood, so I trusted her guidance, which helped a lot. It still isn't easy and I miss my best bud Rocky every day. Hopefully in the future we are able to adopt another dog and give them a loving home, just not quite yet.
