I didn't last long without a dog. Nope. It was way too quiet here at RoseCreekCottage. As much as I love my work...it just wasn't as much fun with no little furry 4-pawed companions following me around. So......last Friday, Jim surprised me with Rosie: the best birthday present I can ever remember getting! She melted my heart as soon as I picked her up, and she nuzzled into my neck. I absolutely love her....and I can tell you that the feeling is mutual!!
She's 3 years old.....and belonged to our dog groomer. She bred Rosie twice, but says that Rosie is very 'needy': she craves attention and affection 24/7. She has a very busy grooming business, and couldn't give her the attention she needs. She knew that since I work at home, Rosie and I would be a match-made-in-heaven. She's a smart lady!
Rosie is a tiny toy poodle: she weighs 4 lbs. She had me wrapped around her little paw from the get-go...and now she's working on Jim! She sleeps right next to me with her little face on the edge of my pillow. She stays there all nite. Doesn't move. If I open my eyes in the middle of the nite....there she is with her brown puppy-dog eyes staring back at me. I'm in heaven!!
Rosie was trained to sit in her little round doggy bed on counters, etc....so she has a spot on the table right next to my workbench in the studio. The pounding and drilling doesn't bother her one bit: she snores away!!
She's a good 'traveler'. We've visited every pet store in town...the bank....nursing home.....she rides in a little doggy carrier tote I found on Amazon. It looks just like a purse, and if I say, "Rosie, hide"...she burrows down inside it....peaking out its mesh sides. She's an absolute doll!
Both residents and staff at the mom's nursing home are in love with her. They marvel at her teeny size. She curls up on my lap when I feed mom lunch. Mom smiles at her and told Uncle Joe, "She's so so small".
So......life goes on here at RoseCreekCottage. And it's finally starting to feel like normal again!!

What a precious gift! A friend of mine used to have a tiny toy poodle and we would dog sit occasionally. They are amazing little creatures. So glad that you have a new furry friend to love and love you back!
Mel....Claire was so so precious with Rosie! So very gentle!! I'll never forget that look on her face when she proudly held her. sigh.

And...... I'm sitting here bawling tears of joy for you and Rosie..... God is so good .... This is my sweet story to think about as I go to sleep tonight......
Hugs.... and thank you for sharing ...
Oh yay!!!! I am so happy for you! What an absolute doll! She sounds like a perfect little angel made just for you! :)
How nice that you take her to the nursing home with you. I know the residents always get a kick out of pets and children. :)
Congratulations!
She's adorable. I'm glad you found a new companion!
Ah, Carol, congratulations! She's precious! I miss my dog too but not ready to start over again. We bought a house in Fl. and will be grandparents again very soon and will be only 13 minutes away from the baby. That will fill the gap for now! Enjoy your new baby!
I didn't think it would take you long to get a new love. She's so cute can't wait to meet her on Sunday. XOXOXOXO Kay
Carol, I'm so glad you've found such a sweet little companion doggie. ;^) She looks adorable. I've had several toy poodles in my life and loved them all. Now my little guard-dog schnauzers take care of me. ;^) My brother's family got a new puppy last week...an Airedale. They named her Lola Arabella! ;^) ;^) ;^)
