One of Maddie's earliest best friends at The Park. Their epic play battles were wonders to behold. Yes, her first close friend was Brutus the powerful young rottie who was always in lock up / time out: Maddie would go in with him. But Rocky and Maddie were magically close. Eventually Rocky moved to Texas where he still is.
Rocky left us today March 24.. The gentle giant, my dog Maddie's Best Friend Forever. There should be a trumpet - on a cliff, children singing, the sun should pause at its height today, the stars tonight: his footprints, the earth should get out of the way of our tears and let them fall forever.
