rosie was our first family dog, but technically mine. we got her in 2nd grade. fletcher and i would always "put our money together" and scheme some grand purchase. on that particular day i had $58 and he had $2.. dogs from the pound are $60.. perfect! (little did my parents know that she had cataracts and glaucoma in her eyes and would end up driving her to an animal opthamologist in miami once a week to get shots behind her eye.. so much for the cheap dog from the pound!) but hey, our little rooster lasted 15 years. she had a stroke sunday so my parents had to put her down today. crazy thinking back and how she really was a member of our family. so many good memories.
some of her nicknames:
rooster
roster-ica
pooper
rose bud
