Rocco Phelps

We had to put down our little dog of 11 years. He was having disc problems in his back and neck. The extreme pain medicine the vet had him on was not helping. In the end they think he had a tumor pressing down on his disc's. It was very hard for our family. Rocco, in my mind, was the constant in our lives. Bryan and I saved him when he was 8 weeks old. We got him from a breeding group that wanted to kill him because he was not to "show" standards. He was with us as we traveled from Lewiston, to San Antonio, to Grand Forks, and then back to Lewiston. A full circle. My heart was broken that he did not get to see our new home. It is sad that he wont be part of this new chapter with his family. My sister Tanya said, "Rocco knew he had gotten you back home and it was now ok for him to go." That statement gave me peace. I will miss him every day but Im glad he is no longer in pain. I hope he is young and free again running around with our Lord.
