Lessons From Rosie
Rosie loves life. I have never met another dog that sees the positive in everything. Even an empty food dish is just a future opportunity for something good. If everyone in the world were as happy and content as that puppy it would be a different place. I have compiled a list that I think she would like to share.
Have fun because you can. Get out and enjoy life. Don't sit around complaining that someone did this or that. Sometimes life it too serious. Feel the air on your face and let your ears fly. If a butterfly crosses your path, follow it. If your tail catches your eye, chase it. Don't be afraid to look crazy because sometimes that is just plain fun.
Go for lots of walks and enjoy the fresh air and sun. The leaves are beautiful and you never know what kind of friends your will make on the way. Sometimes baby raccoons and sometimes chipmunks. Make sure to make time for your old friends too. Share a smell or some muddy water... 
Accept everyday as an opportunity to live life and have adventures. You don't know you don't like something until you try it. But foremost spend time doing things you love and with people you care about.
Do things because you can. Why buy apples when you can pick them? Finally, change the things you can and accept the things you can't. That is what I think Rosie would tell us all.
The end.

Lots of Trouble
At the end of every month I bake cupcakes for the kids that had birthdays that month. After slaving over a hot stove finally I had 25 perfect cupcakes. Now, what to do with the extra icing...hee hee.
Before:
After:
(someone needs a bath)
When this dog sleeps, she really sleeps. With all her missing teeth (all the front ones) her tongue sometimes falls out. Very cute.
Finally, I would be interested in hearing if anyone besides Rosie thinks this is a good idea. She has been trying to get up here for weeks and tonight she finally made it (ie we didn't block her in time). I was ready to catch her if she fell.
I admit is does look comfortable though.

If It Smells, Tastes and Looks Like a Rose...
...then it's not our dog...and why are you licking dogs?
That is the deep thought for the day.
On to the story. Rosie is continuing with obedience and we realized we had not put up any pictures of her from there for a while. She still loves it and is blowing away the competition...no I am not competitive!
Here is Pat, out instructor with Credence. I think he is smarter than me. I think she is demonstrating something.
Now to the Rose. Here she is looking crazy jumping through the "tire". It's really low so it's ok for her hips.
Here she is looking crazy running through the tunnel. It's still one of her favourites. The chute was not set up tonight.
Here she is looking ultra crazy going through the weave poles...she's actually pretty good at them even though it looks like she is trying to eat my hand.
And here we are doing something. She does not look crazy...is that my dog?
At the beginning and the end the dogs get to have a little play. Here is one of her favourite friends, Bell, and her trying to play tug. The official play time had not started so they still have their leashes on.
Here is Rosie on the dog walk...
And on the table...another favourite because she gets to lay down and jump on and off of things.
And finally we have a tired puppy who is trying to help with the typing...it is her story after all.
