Hello, Y'all, I am proud to be here.  I hope everyone is having a great Monday morning!  I am up early because my sweet dog, Rosie,  woke me and wanted to go outside.  She will stand by the bedside and put her paw on my arm or start licking my arm for me to get up.  She is a smart girl  and a treasure.   She is part border collie and part golden retriever.  We rescued her from the pound last August.  She had been in a "no-kill" animal facility for 5 years. She was found wandering on a dirt roadway, starved, and shaggy when she was about 3 years old. She had heart worms and showed evidence of abuse, according to the kennel staff.  She had a brief home, for 6 months,  outside the kennels, however, the family returned her to them when they moved into an apartment.  She is a treasure and we love her very much.  She is an alpha dog, within time, she has learned we are the "adults" and she is "da baby dog." She is very protective of us.  She loves chasing chipmunks and squirrels, and cats.  We learned this the hard way when we took her walking w/o a leash. Never again. Now, she is in a harness when she is ouotside with us. We let her run loose in our big backyard. She loves this part. Our kids and grandchildren love her.  The feeling appears to be mutual.  She finally has her "forever" home with us.  If you are looking for a great pet, try a rescue facility.  There are a lot of sweet animals who need a good home. 

Take care of yourselves, be healthy, and be safe.  Remember to share the love and kindness in your life as bread on the waters. 

Hugs, GA Peach
