This is Rosie. She was put down a few years ago as she had pancreatic cancer. We got her from a rescue shelter, the previous owners had not treated her well, we think they starved her. She ran away from them, along the canal, and some bloke found her. He took her to the shelter, we were there that day, looking for a dog, but found none we really wanted, they were all too big. Then this bloke came in with her. We fell in love right away and said we wanted her, it took a week to see if anyone claims her, her original owners got in contact and said they did’t want her. So we took her home. We had seven lovely years with her, because she’d not been shown love, she was very protective of us, she knew mum was not well, and followed her around. I would walk her, when she was put down, I went out on our walk for at least two weeks, until I had to stop, because the emotions were too strong. We loved her very much, and we keep her ashes in our lounge.
