Meet Rosie!

AnimalsAreMyLife · 09-07-2008, 02:40 PM

This is Rosie. We found Rosie as a stray, or well, she found us. I had been sick of listening to Charlie bark in his dumb kennel, so I went to bring him in, and when I went to the back she was on our porch. She was very scared because Charlie had tried to attack her. She just layed there shaking. I got Charlie in the kennel and ran back so she wouldn't leave. I called for my mom, and we tried to coax her in with treats and water, but she wouldn't budge. We didn't know if we should try to move her because we didn't know if she would bite, and we didn't know if she had shots. Well, after a while we finally did carry her into the porch, and she went and his with my mom.

After we just let her sit for a while there, we got up, and tried to coax her into the house, but she again just layed. So, my mom went and watched T.V. and I went on the computer, and after about 1/2 minutes she came crawling in. First she just sniffed, and explored, then she would go to my mom or myself. Then after a while she got used to us. Quite quickly actually. I took some pictures, and sent them to the shelter.

Well, the next day we were called, and they knew the owner, and then the story really begins.

See, Rosie's owner was at Miller Dwan (It is a place for people going to rehab for drugs, and things, then for people who are, well, crazy.) We were told she would be there till the next Tuesday, which was about 7 days away. So, we planned to let her stay with us instead of going to sit in a kennel with all those other dogs for a week.

So, the shelter gave us the owner's room number, and my mom called and got the story. See, the owner's son was a drug addict and alchohalic, and apparently Rosie had somehow gotten out. She had to travel though all the train tracks which are about a mile in width to get across, and we were glad that she was pkay after hearing that. Well, see Rosie is an inside only dog. She had never been outside in her life or wore a collar/leash, so we at first hadf problem with her going outside to go potty because she wouldn't walk outside, but she would eventually go potty. (Which about 2 days before she left we actually had her outside walking and such) We were like wow, how does she go potty, but we decided not to ask.

Well, along the lines of us having her she was doing great! She liked my mom and I alot, was playing, even did some Agility. Then like I said above she even would walk outside.

Here are some pictures of her doing all of those things. xD (And random shots)

Man, I miss her. She was a sweet little girl..

Aww she is cute! What a story! I'm sorry she had to go back to horrible owners.

Radar_Love · 09-07-2008, 05:18 PM

She's beautiful. I hate that those people got her back. She looked like she fit in so well with you.

AnimalsAreMyLife · 09-07-2008, 06:52 PM

Thanks! I wish we could have kept her.

Actually the female (owner) loved Rosie very much, but it is just a bad situation. :/

***dogs4life*** · 09-07-2008, 07:14 PM

Thank goodness you took her in, looks like she had a great time saying with you. I love the jump you made from a broomstick.

It's too bad Rosie got caught in a bad situation.

Ritz459 · 09-07-2008, 08:26 PM

What a sweet little girl!

At leat you were there to take her in when she needed it most - just think of what would have happened if some less-than-caring person had found her first!

AnimalsAreMyLife · 09-10-2008, 05:11 AM

Thank you!

MissFitz · 09-10-2008, 10:43 PM

Hugs for taking her in.
You never know, the story with Rosie may not be over yet. She looks like a young dog.

What a cutie!!! Someone informed me about a jump I made, and said (She is involved in agility) that you have to make sure that its not too secure so if they hit it, it falls off because they can get injured by hitting into the pole too hard, and it not falling off of whatever is holding it up! Just thought I would pass on that bit of advise!

Great photos!

She is a cutie! It's too bad about the situation she is in... If I were you, I probably would have offered my home to her dog if things became rough again.

Hopefully it doesn't happen again...she was lucky to have found you guys.
