July - Rosie´s outing:I brought Rosie home with me for some playtime. My two dogs were at my Mom's house so Rosie had the entire toy box to herself. She thoroughly enjoyed sniffing them all but wasn't too sure what to do with them. She had fun chasing after them as I tossed them around the room for her. In particular, she liked the one that looks like a cat! Gee... I wonder why? While she was here I tried to get her into the tub for a bath. She wasn't a willing participant. She seemed to know what the tub was for. I didn't want to force her so instead we had a sponge bath out on the deck. She was a very well behaved house guest and even settled down enough for a short nap. (please click the tabs to see pictures of Rosie´s outing)

Rosie was previously named Rose. Several volunteers felt the name Rosie better reflected her personality, so her name was changed

From previous foster: Rose is adapting well to her new environment. We go on walks every morning (usually around 6:30 am), at lunchtime (around 1:30) after work (at 5:30) and again before bed (about 10:00 typically). We allow her to be out of her kennel when we're around to supervise, and she seems to enjoy having a place to feel like she can run around in. She has never had an accident yet, and has only barked on occasion (when there's a small dog walking by what she now thinks as "her" property!). She is so easy to have around the condo.

We have taken her to the farm where Daniel grew up, as well, but we think she was a little confused by everything there. We now truly understand that she does NOT like cats)! She also didn't quite understand what the horses were. She seemed to like the idea of a large area to run around in (we jogged the 1/2 mile to the mailbox on the farm a few times)!! I think she would need to be a city dog, however!! Anyway, my husband just loves having her around and we are really having fun fostering her!
