After what I have been through this past year, Rolex was stuck to me like glue because he knew that I needed it. He was MY keeper... He ran the show. He just needed me to open the food packages due to the no thumb issue:)<BR/><BR/>I never got very far without him knowing right where I was or without him hot on my heels. When you think of sad puppy dog face, you picture Rolex when he actually had to stay at home. So many times that look caused me just to gather him up and take him with me to the grocery store:):)<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that I was able to hold him while he died. I know that he was not alone and that he knew that he was loved. I was able to kiss him goodbye for mom #1 & for myself, mom #2.<BR/><BR/>The dreaded phone call... I didn't want to call Brig and tell her that our dog had gone on to play in the big backyard in the sky. Life just isn't fair sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Walking through the halls of school today was horrible. There was no Rolly tap dancing behind me. I tried to prepare myself, but was unsuccessful, for the amount of hugs I would receive both from teachers and the kids. Rolex was our mascot. All the kids oooed and awwwwed over him as he stopped to let them pet him and then scurried on to catch up with me. He was part of the Oakwood Staff - he had his own id badge, school photo, & square in the yearbook on the faculty page:) <BR/><BR/>My school kids took it pretty hard. For some, Rolex was their dog. When I asked one of my students where Rolex was, he replied, "In Heaven". I asked who he was with and he replied, "with Mr. Jarrod". My heart and eyes swelled with happiness & tears. Mr. Jarrod was last years pet and mascot of my class (my fiance). The kids loved Mr. Jarrod. We lost him in September. <BR/><BR/>I can't go anywhere without thinking of Rolex. He claimed the front seat of my car no matter if someone was sitting in it or not. I have looked over to see him or to pet him so many times since he died. He would curl up on a inch of couch just to be near you. I can't believe he was always comfy. He had HIS recliner chair in my classroom that was not to be sat in by any other person. Actually, he did share the chair with one of my kids, but he had to be sitting with her. He would sit on the mats as the kids were stretches as if he were their protector. He would allow me to dress him in so many different outfits - tshirts, A&M Jersey, sweaters, halloween costumes (Batman & Superman), & his pajamas:) Poor Puppy! He led people to believe that he was STARVING and would beg for their people food... sad thing is that he was VERY successful at his job.<BR/><BR/>Rolex, I love you and miss you so much! Thank you for sticking by me through these past 5 months. I couldn't have made it without you!<BR/><BR/>Play nice and give love:):)<BR/>Momma MistiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19104947.post-1139111346564306312006-02-04T21:49:00.000-06:002006-02-04T21:49:00.000-06:00I love youand Rolex will always be my special budd...I love you<BR/><BR/>and Rolex will always be my special buddy.

We'll never forget his way of...<BR/><BR/>- attempting to claim people food by snorting boogers on it (I would eat the food in front of him out of spite)<BR/><BR/>- making sure you watched while he did his "lawn business" (if he didn't leave a surprise on your carpet first)<BR/><BR/>- standing and clicking his front paws while playing (he moved faster if you gave him beer)<BR/><BR/>- gaining attention by giving his stuffed animals EXTRA attention (same thing with the beer...), and<BR/><BR/>- showing his love by putting his chin on your sholder<BR/> <BR/>He inspired us to get our own little shih-tzu, Gizmo, who we in turn taught to click paws, drink beer, and show love.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Rolo's up there doing the same.

Rolex spent the entire time sleeping in Allen's recliner. (Allen didn't have dogs in the house either.) It was like Rolex "knew" and would show Allen who was boss. We will miss him too.

I don't think I'll ever forget that Christmas. <BR/><BR/>Little Rolex with his hideous teeth is up there making a place for my not so good dog to join him soon. Maybe he can get Oreo in with grandma!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
