Rosie, our little girl. You have brought so much love and joy to our lives. We will never forget you or stop loving you. You were a Rotweiler and you thought you were a Golden Retriever! We are so happy that you were able to go "fishy-fishy" this summer. We will miss your little "duck butt" when you swim! You had a wonderful time. I will miss you warming my feet in bed and your warm, wet kisses on my nose. Daddy will miss you crawling up on the couch to lay with him. You had so much fun chasing lasers and shadows. Thank you for watching out for your boys. They miss you so much! We will miss everything about you, baby girl.  

Rosie was 10 years old. She lost her battle with hip dysplasia and severe arthritis. She was active though and thank God for her medicine. It helped her so much. It allowed her to have a more comfortable life and stay with us for as long as she could. Over a couple days time, Rosie's hind quarters became paralyzed and she could no longer walk or go outside. She could no longer feel her feet and would walk on the the tops of her feet. She would lay helplessly. We tried to help her walk, but it seemed more like torture than help. The vet said that nothing more could be done and we didn't want her to be sad just laying there and not being able to walk or go to the bathroom. We sent Rosie to the Rainbow Bridge with broken hearts. I know that we will see you again. Buddy misses his big sister. Run and play now, Rosie because I know that God will take care of you and make you better.
