Rest in Peace, Rocky......


I was deeply saddened to learn last night that Rocky, the 28-year-old Kodiak bear at the Pittsburgh Zoo, had to be euthanized. Rocky had a severe spinal condition that made everyday living quite painful for him. There is a complete story about him on the Post Gazette's website: http://post-gazette.com/pg/10232/1081353-53.stm
We enjoyed seeing Rocky on our many visits to the zoo, and were amazed at how congenial and fun he was to see. He did many tricks and always seemed happy to see the many visitors who came to see him each day.
I hope Rocky has his bone and his special snowy mountain in bear Heaven. Rest in peace, buddy.
