January: Meet Rosie

Happy New Year! I’m Rosie, but call me Audrey…Hepburn, that is. I have her style. Everyone who meets me is charmed by the oh-so-chic way I cross my legs.

Mom looked for me for two whole years! My predecessor, Riley, was another rescue dog from Rescue A Golden, and from what I’ve heard he was truly the Cary Grant type. So suave that when mom wrote her memoir Riley figured prominently in her story…the golden guy who got her through medical mayhem and her introduction to widowhood. With Riley gone she now longed for another companion, and she searched and searched and searched.

Rescue a Golden made my mom’s dream come true. We are now a family, and beautifully suited for each other. I am a five-year-old retired mama dog. The mellow type. I am petite and weigh only 48 pounds. We live a quiet life, but I don’t miss having walks because we play with squeaky balls and have lots of mind games. Plenty of exercise for me, and easy for my mom’s back.

Here’s the best part…I get to be a studio dog. I have an extra bed in her art studio. I am the official greeter. The students are enchanted when I elegantly cross my legs, and I have them trained to bring me treats.

My wonderful Rescue A Golden foster family prepared me for kindness and love. My mom says I was worth the two-year search. We know we both have struck gold!
