Rosebud "Rosie" was such a sweet soul.  Rosie was a black, white and orange long-haired calico.  She loved her family and her "sister" Daisy Jane very much and we all loved her.  She was a very important part of our family and lives.  Rosie was adopted from the Camarillo Animal Shelter in March 1999.  She was a skinny, scared little cutie who was found by her "mom" who fell in love with her immediately!  Her mom took her home from the shelter and she slept on her mom and dad's bed the first night in her new home.  When Rosie was in her new home for two months, she became the "big sister" to Daisy Jane.  Rosie "put up with" her new sister Daisy.  Rosie, being the typical "older sister" wasn't interested in all the childish play that Daisy was.  Rosie would put her paw on Daisy's head as if to hold her back.  When Daisy grew up, the roles reversed.  Rosie would want to play with Daisy and Daisy was the one who wasn't as interested until Rosie would turn her back and then Daisy would "sneak attack"!  Rosie loved to sit at the sliding glass window with Daisy and watch the outdoors.  She also loved to roll over and get her belly rubbed!  If she saw a pair of shoes or slippers on the floor, she would lay on them!  She would also use the TV remote control on the couch as a pillow!  Rosie loved to be petted and scratched on her back.  It would make her purr very loud!  Rosie had a "nervous tick" where she would lick her fur if someone scratched near the beginning of her tail!  

Our family is very sad and devastated at the loss of our beloved Rosie.  Our only comfort at this time are our special memories and knowing that we rescued her from the pound 9 years ago and gave her a very loving home. 

We miss you, Rosie, and we will love you and keep you  forever in our hearts!
