Rocky - 12 years old
This is Rocky, a rescue Border Collie that joined our family on 13th September 2008, from Wiccaweys Border Collie Rescue.
Butter wouldn't melt when Zeola and I went to meet him but we soon knew that he was a force to be reckoned with when he took a dislike to my sister's Boxer, Dunston, when we met up for a walk the next day.
Generally staying within a reasonable distance when out on walks, when Rocky knows that he is getting close to one of the waterstops on any of our walks, he heads off for a paddle and a bite of the water.
He also loves to bite the heads off of daisies and spit them out again - Many's the time that I have had to extract them from between his teeth.
Rocky loves to sleep and BARK!
Following a short illness, when Rocky contracted Lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes), he passed away peacefully on 31st August 2014.
