As many of you know, my little puppy Rocky has been my constant companion since we adopted him about 18 months ago. 13 pounds of unconditional love, I fell for him, hard. Once in a while he’d bark as we were recording a podcast, prompting emails from some of you dog lovers. One thing Rocky really enjoyed was sailing with me on San Francisco Bay–he loved the water and the wind in his face.
A few weeks ago, Rocky joined me for a sail, and in a freak accident, he fell overboard along the Sausalito waterfront. He didn’t make a sound, and we did not notice right away. By the time we found him and pulled him out of the water, it was too late.
His loss has hit me harder than I might have expected, but then this was something I never expected. Kathee and I are working through the sadness, and have been comforted by friends and family who loved Rocky and understand our loss. Our thanks to you, and to little Rocky. He will be sorely missed.
