your first dog

Rocco Danny Thompson
April 15, 2006 (we think) - August 5, 2010
Dear Vaughn,
When you were first born, you had a dog named Rocco who loved you sooo much, but he was sick. Mommy and daddy rescued him when he was just a little puppy named Danny. We changed his name to Rocco because we thought it fit him well. He was a very lovable and fun dog. He loved to go hiking, playing with his ball and camping. After he turned around one year old, he got a sickness in his brain that caused him to run in circles all around the house and all around you! Besides his brain being ill, he also had another sickness in his spine and then started to get seizures when you were in mommy's belly. Because of his sicknesses, he had to be on lots of medicine. You LOVED your puppy so much as he loved you in return. Everywhere you were, Rocco was right there with you even when you had super stinky diapers. Often, he would lay on his back so that you could rub his tummy. He also gave you lots of kissies, which you didn't seem to mind at all. We think you actually liked them.Because of his sickness, he would sometimes almost step on you or knock you off your car. Sometimes, you looked like a snack to him, too, even though he would never ever hurt you on purpose. So to keep you safe and to help Rocco be happy again, we decided to let him go to doggy heaven where he can run around and be free from his sickness. We wanted to make sure you knew about your very first dog named Rocco.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
