Zak passed away on Saturday 5th September and left behind his Daddy Ian and his Mummy Karen and his two brother Jordan and Jayden-Jack, and also grandparents and aunties and uncles and cousins.
We got Zak when he was 2 or 3 but because we didn't know his exact birthday we celebrated it with our son Jordan on the 17th December and he always got a treat that day and a present :D
Zak went against ever single bit of bad press written about Rottweillers, he was loving and cuddly and very placid, such a docile big puppy.
He was fiercely loyal and was always quick to defend us and us like wise to him, he was our baby, just like our own two boys.
zak had bother with his back legs on and off for a few years but usually it was just a bit of a milp for a few days then he was fine, but on Friday 4th Sept 2009 around 5pm Zaks legs went from him completely and he couldn't stand, I knew then his time was up, Ian lifted him in and out to the toilet Friday and Saturday morning and then we took him to the vet :(
She checked him over and basically told us what we already knew :( she offered to lift zak on to the table so we could get a cuddle but I refused and said "no leave him where he is he is comfy, we will kneel down beside him" With Ian beside hima nd me infront of him the vet gave him his jag and slpwly he fell asleep, no pain, no struggle just went to sleep in the arms of his mummy and daddy, we sat with his for 20-30mins just clapping him and talking to him and reminding him how much we loved him.
Then the vet came back in and asked if we would like his collar which we did take, and she let us say our goodbyes, to leave you there alone almost killed us, but we knew we did the right thing.
The boys miss you as much as us, shorty keep saying "Zakky up a sky" we told him you were the brightest star.
Jordan hasn't said much but I know he misses you he just doesn't want to upset us.
We won't ever get another dog, no-one could or would ever take your place, you were are one in a million and hope you are safe and well now and running around like you used to do.
With all our love always Mum & Dad and the boys x x x

OMG how bad they were sometimes :D
Papa is doing okay the op went okay but never worked the way Papa hoped so he is still off work, think he may need to give it up :(
Uncle Eug has a new puppy Diesel, but he is not a patch on our boy ;) no-one can or will replace you, not over my dead body will any other dog be as important in our life.
Anyway boy, hope you are doing well and running about again like you could manage near the end xx

Letting Go
With tearful eyes, I watched you suffer
And saw you fading away.
You saw my pain and wanted to stay,
But you were getting so tired trying to remain.
And although I loved you dearly,
I just could not make you stay.
For a cure for you was not to be.
As weak and frail as you were,
You lifted your head one last time and
Said to me “Mommy it’s time, set me free”
And you laid your head back down.
I held you and told you I loved you
As The Lord put his arms around you
And whispered, “Come with me
For your journey to the Rainbow Bridge
Is now underway.”
I watch you take your last breathe
As you glided away from this Earth.
For another star was created as you
Entered your new life.
A life of no worries of every going
hungry or being ill again.
You have crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge
Till we meet again my heart will weep.

Hi Zaky Boy
Hiya Boy
Just passing through to say we love you,
miss you and wish you were still here :(
almost 6 months since you left us and god it seems nowhere near that long. I can still at times catch you walking about out the corner of my eye and have to double check, so I know you are still around us.
Especially when I am low, you always knew and would be extra cuddly.
Anyway baby, sleep tight
Luv Mum
and of course Dad and the boys xxx
Zak xxxxxx Loved always xxxxx
The Loss Of My Dear Friend
by Anon
Tears glitter as crystal in the light, falling down onto that soft fur
They carry pieces of my heart, love that I return to you
Memories of laughs, smiles and joy, gifts that you gave to me
Never to be forgotten, their strength shall help me endure
Though bittersweet now, the flame shall burn true
Cutting through the darkness, a glow only my heart can see.
These earthly bodies may be separated, but they are only an outer shell
Like golden and silvery threads, our lifeforce within is too much entwined
The fabric it weaves, shining and as strong as steel
Will serve to protect me as I walk through this hell
A final gift only your love could have designed.
You bestowed upon me with your characteristic zeal.
Our separation is not final, nor is it forever
Even though two brave hearts stopped beating today
So my beloved friend I shall not say "Goodbye"
These bonds of love, death cannot sever
Instead "Till we meet again," for though I wish you could stay
Right now it's time for your soul to fly!!
Hi ma boy
Hey boy, We were in tesco the other night and walked down the dog food aisle and was automatically picking up your stuff :( it is times like that it hits home your not here.
I miss coming home and having you running us over as we open the door :)
We have good memories
which will never die
Luv you always boy xxx
One Month gone by
Hey Boy, one month has gone by since you went away and we are getting by, I think you must be smiling on us.
I pray your happy and running free again, your wee legs were just too tired at the end, I was heartbroken watching you struggle.
Daddy misses you heaps too but like the man he is, he is not letting it show :(
Not a day goes by where I don't miss you baby, I just wish you were still with us.
Love you always mum & Dad, Jordan and Jayden xxx
