If any of you follow me on social media, then you know I had a dog named Rocky who’s been my constant companion and an internet superstar in his own right ever since I rescued him in April 2012. I am sad to report that dear Rocky passed away last week following a (fortunately short) battle with liver disease.
Rocky was already coming on in years when I adopted him, so I’ve always felt that every moment we had together was precious, which might explain why I’m finding his passing particularly tough. Still, I’m grateful that we had as much quality time together as we did, and I’m also grateful that I took so many pictures of him (upward of 1,000!) to remember him by.
I’ve decided to pay tribute to wonderful Rocky by creating a photo book to celebrate his life. The book is for sale in soft cover and hard back, priced to cover my costs plus a few extra £££ to be donated to Hope Rescue, the rescue center where I found Rocky. I also have a calendar for sale at the bargain price of just £6.

Monica I am teary all over again. What a lovely life Rocky led and how lucky you both were to find each other. I’d love a calendar. Rocky was my boy, you know! XO
The calendar is in the works!
DONE. <3
So sorry to hear about Rocky’s passing, particularly as I never got to meet him, but I felt as though I knew him through the internet. Looking forward to receiving the book – it’s a lovely tribute!
I am overjoyed that you’ve done this book in honor of Rocky and for such a tremendous cause, Monica…. can’t wait to hold it in my hands and feel it in my heart.
What a beautiful idea. I’d certainly be interested in the calendar version. Thank you Monica for sharing your boy with us. x
I felt like I knew Rocky through your chatty words about him and your gorgeous pictures of him on your stunning walks through the countryside. I would love to have his handsome face on a calendar for myself.
The calendar is a great way to remember Rocky as well. Different pictures of his adventures from Spain to Scotland.
