rosie with her namesake

not only beautiful...

but tasty too!

 

thank you evelyn...

the girls loved them!

She loves her lambchop...

sharing secrets~

rosie has been such a wonderful addition to our life! barely home for 24 hours, she is adventuresome and has just a super sweet little personality. she was raised outdoors, everything is new to her...

we are being very cautious introducing her to the big girls, cassie has always been mean and aggressive, katie was sweet and loved to play with other dogs at the beach daily, but suddenly having a new roommate, i can't count on that theory holding...

so we are starting slowly...

  

how could she not love this face!

for now she is keeping mum...

 

an early christmas for us~

i adore border collies, i have had a dozen in my lifetime, with cassie aging, and losing interest in being outdoors, i wanted katie to have a young friend to run with... and then came the pandemic. it has been very difficult to find any, i have been looking for many months in a 500 mile radius. i believe in rescue dogs, but any cute dog has long been rescued, and i wanted a puppy to make sure it was raised with our cats, fortunately an add popped up on craiglist with an accidental border collie litter and within in hours we had this adorable little girl.

introductions have been minimal...

she spent the day exploring the rose garden with me...

...drum roll please...

meet rosie!

i always have garden projects, with heavy dangerous equipment nearby, she was in doggie day care when i wasn't showing her my many roses.

 it was a great day for all, welcome home rosie!
