Thread: Meet Rosie

Tweet

As some of you may remember, I had to have our 13 year old beagle put down last fall. We weren't going to get another dog but I was missing having one too much. We've been keeping an eye on the Humane Society web site but nothing was really calling me. Turns out through a few conversations, I found out that my neighbor 1 1/2 miles away who raises Golden Retrievers and Golden Doodles had a 6 month old female retriever he needed to find a home for. He sold her to a lady for a " comfort & therapy dog " and she spent $3,500 ( yes, I typed that right ) on training but then returned her because she had a crooked paw ( which none of us can see ) and she pee'd too much ( um, she's a puppy ) Any how, it worked out well for us because he really didn't want to advertise her because it can make him look bad so he gave her to us for free! The only stipulation is I have to get her fixed because he doesn't sell competition which is understandable. She is adorable and amazing, she follows us around and doesn't wander off the acreage at all, just like this was always her home, and I forgot how much puppies love to play, I might loose some weight

She's a beauty!!

Congratulations. ..great looking pup!

Nice! What’s not to love about a new puppy?!

A crooked paw!!?????? You've got to be kidding! How shallow can you get.

There was a semi-stray cat that hung out around my old shop at my previous house. He got hit by a car and the vet removed one of his rear legs. That was the most loving little 3 legged cat. I can't tell you how many times he curled up on my chest while I was in my recliner and went to sleep. Slept on the foot of my bed when it was cold outside.

He moved between my house and 2 other neighbors all the time and everybody loved him. I hated to leave him when we moved, but the other neighbors would never have forgiven me. They loved him as much as we did.

Crooked paw...……..………………….does she tend to run in circles? Sheesh!

She's a cutey...

Well, I guess she does run in circles so maybe she was right LOL

Mike, that's the next thing on our list, to get some cats back. The place just seemed weird without a dog and a few cats. We have to get something for Rosie to chase right? LOL.

Great looking pup Seth.
There's Nothing like a puppy to make you smile is there?!?!?

I don't know what it is about puppies, maybe it's their innocence that makes you overlook all the stuff they destroy and then pet them with a smile on your face. I've always said that's why God made little animals and kids cute, it's so people don't kill them, I tell my kids that, then I remind them that their not cute anymore LOL.

Crikey mate, I hear you on that!
Our kids are in their late forties/early fifties now, and I love them all.


But sometimes I just don't like them very much...
