For many years Linda had a dog living in her lofts in England. "Tan" was a Border Terrier. Tan had her own door into the loft and lived inside with the birds. Tan became so accustomed to Linda's pigeons she could tell Linda when a stray had trapped in the loft. She also was very protective of Her birds, running off all cats and rodents.
Linda has many times talked of getting a dog as we live out in the country we have a lot of wild cats and assorted rodents. Also with me working shift work Linda wished for the security of a dog. When one of our prized pigeons suddenly disappeared I started thinking more about getting a dog.
Linda picked "Rosie" out of a litter of 10 pups on Mon, Dec 24th. A Christmas gift for Linda it came as a complete surprise. Linda was thrilled with her new puppy and Rosie is settling in nicely. I am amazed at how fast she is learning things. From time to time I will up-date this page with info and pictures. I hope you will like Rosie's story as it evolves.

This is Rosie's last picture, peacefully asleep on "Her Bed". We lost Rosie 11/21/03, 3 days before her second birthday. Rosie was the happiest dog alive. She loved life to the fullest, and everyone in it. Rosie was a true friend, and will be deeply missed. |
