Rosie

On Friday March 20 we had to say goodbye to Rosie… our bulldog, but truly My “soul dog” She loved everyone, and everyone loved Rosie! She had that kind of personality you just fell in love with.

I still remember loading up the kids and driving to Arlington, NE to pick out a puppy. The kids picked her & gave her her name & from that day on Rosie was family in every sense of the word.

She was also so bullheaded — a true bully with a stubborn streak a mile wide — and that was such a big part of her charm. Rosie had a whole lot of personality and she did life her way w/attitude. That stubborn, funny, lovable personality was such a big part of what made her Rosie.

She was more than a dog. She was family & brought so much love, comfort, laughter, and personality into our home and was such a big part of our everyday lives. She always came running to greet me when I got home, loved sitting in my lap snored like a champ, and was always ready for a ride or a walk. She was spoiled rotten, but Rosie (and myself) fully believe that was the standard she deserved.

After losing my mom just 2 months ago, this feels especially hard. But in my heart, I believe Rosie made it to heaven and went straight to find her. And honestly, these thoughts are what bring me a little comfort & peace right now.

Rosie was loved beyond words, spoiled-as she deserved, and leaves behind a huge hole in our hearts. We will miss her like crazy-already do.

There will never be another Rosie. Losing her hurts deeply......
