A boy and his dogs relationship is like no other in the world. As soon as Andy and i got rosie he and rosie were in love. Andy is the "fun guy" in our parenting with her and im "the hammer." On this day in particulare he and Rosie were running threw the tall wet grass for as long as Andy could keep up. Rosie has lots and lots of energy. There bond is a sweet thing to witness.  Rosie and i we have our own moments of quiet and calm book reading. I do take her to the dog park everyday and she is the happiest when around other dogs. I love seeing how smart she is and how she always comes when i call her, for the most part. Owning a dog has changed our world drastically but in a good way. We have gone from a clean calm cat house to a busy dirty dog house. Its been good for us to throw a mix into our otherwise orderly world. Yes there have been a few trying times, like when Rosie ate a bowl of chocolate covered almonds, or when one of our cats chases her and smacks her but all in all things are good. We have gotten into our rhythm with her and she is fitting in very well.  I do have to say the "dog" world is such a new experience for me all i do at the dog park is talk to other people about there dog and there personalities im still getting used to figuring out my limits of politeness with her and what the etiquette is at the dog park and around other dogs. thank goodness rosie is so sweet and submissive i dont know what id do with a bully dog. I have to constantly remind myself she is only a 8 month old puppy i cant expect her to do everything i want on the first try.
