Lord Byron had this inscribed on a monument to his Newfoundland, "Boatswain". I think it is one of the most beautiful and accurate descriptions I have ever read about a dog:<br /><br />"Near this spot<br />Are deposited the Remains of one<br />Who possessed Beauty without Vanity,<br />Strength without Insolence,<br />Courage without Ferocity,<br />And all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.<br />This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery<br />If inscribed over human ashes,<br />Is but a just tribute to the Memory of<br />BOATSWAIN, a Dog,<br />Who was born at Newfoundland, May, 1803,<br />And died at Newstead Abbey, Nov. 18, 1808."Mountain Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07622024408308543956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-35299958827639598542012-02-08T16:07:51.264-08:002012-02-08T16:07:51.264-08:00Catra,

I subscribe to the philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism, & believe in the concept of impermanence of all things. Our furry angels, like us, are a beautiful, fleeting wave, on the ocean of consciousness; allowing us to bask in their form & love for but a brief moment in time. I'm honored to have been Sierra's custodian, as I feel honored now to be Tallon & Anok's. They are beacons of unconditional love & compassion in this world. May we all strive to be more like them, & may your heart be at piece with the love you experienced (& beautiful trail miles)from dear Rocky. Sending you all my love, & deepest condolences...xoxoxoxoAlmine Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624807882872711510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15115012.post-71584977356332132042012-02-08T07:52:09.406-08:002012-02-08T07:52:09.406-08:00Cat, I'm so sorry to hear this!!

My heart truly breaks for you even though I know you mostly through your blog and didn't have the honor of knowing Rocky. I lost my "Daisy Dog," August 2010. I know it's so, so hard now. But eventually your tears will turn to smiles and laughter remembering Rocky.
