Our Little Man (Kid Roc)
Rest In Peace
12/29/01

It has been over 7 months since Kid passed away.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't shed a tear
for him. We had a very special bond equal to what I
had with his father Roc. When kid was born I had
injured my knee. When it was time to have surgery it
was also time to housebreak Kid, so he stayed in our
bedroom with me. He would sleep with me in the
mornings as I recovered. I would just pet him and
know that if I worked very hard on my Knee that
someday he and I would go to Westminster. You see
Kid Roc was nicely built and moved like a dream, he
had attitude and presence, everything it took to be a
top contender like his dad Roc. Our handler Michele
began showing him at 7 months and by the time he
died at just over 8 months he was proving to be
everything I had hoped for by winning 3 majors and
11 points. I constantly fantasized about the day he
and I would be together in the ring. Looking back
now I believe kid was misdiagnosed by our
veterinarian. He was put through terrible pain before
being put to rest. Those special images of Kid and I
showing together are now replaced with the day I
watched him slip away into a peaceful sleep. I love
you little man and am so lost without you
