Our "Doodles"
I don't remember how our Rocky got the nickname Doodles, but we called him that a lot, and "My big pretty boy." He was the love of our lives, a big handsome Great Pyrenees mix. We also liked to fondly tell people he was our Chicken In a Lion Suit! He looked like a big old lion when we shaved his long hair for the summer, and was a big old chicken at heart. Just the sound of a leash or collar coming out of the closet sent him running... and God forbid we bring out the brush! One good brushing and he'd avoid us for days. He once got out of our property on accident when the gate was open for a few minutes, nobody knew it, and later that night I heard the biggest wail you've ever heard. It was the Doodles, sitting outside the gate scared to death he'd never get back in. Needless to say, he never ever wanted out that gate again. The biggest, sweetest dog we've ever known, his sweetness shone in those big brown eyes. We lost him at 9 yrs of age on May 31st, 2007 and our hearts are broken into a million pieces. There will never be another Rocky, he will hold a place in our hearts forever, and we'll see you in Heaven my Big Pretty Boy.--
