I have no clue how old Rocky is, but I sure understand how sad that
can be.

We have had quite a few we had to worry about. Right now for a few
years we have worried about our oldest dog, Nipper. He joined our
household when we moved into this house when Derrick was 5 or 6.
Derrick is now 27. So he is 21 for sure. He disappeared on Friday
night to Saturday afternoon, I just couldn't find him. My husband was
missing part of the time working other houses getting things done.
I had to make him come around late on Saturday, to find the stinker
because he was worrying me. Expecting him to have gone and
died somewhere. Well I don't go in the basement, its just not safe
when I'm by myself. So he went down there and came back with
the little stinker. He was down there, and he is pretty much blind
and hears very little. So he had just walked in front of Dale, and
he carried him upstairs. He walks up and down the upstairs all
the time, and Dale says why wouldn't he walk up the stairs after
going down. I said, well the upstairs is covered and safe for him,
but the downstairs isn't he could fall all the way down I'm guessing
is why. And its cooler down there. It had gotten hot in the house.
Somehow the houses air had gotten turned down.

So now when he disappears he goes down to look or someone does.

Silly guy he just kind of runs the house. But he seems to think he
will live till he is 100 years old. But we realize it could be any day.
He is older than most chihuahuas are.
