Rosie

My beloved Rosie passed away on March 9 of this year. She had developed Sudden Rage Syndrome, a rare disorder that causes dogs to attack people and other pets. She was eleven years old. I had her since she was six months. I rescued her from a whippet breeder who was going to destroy her because she was not full blooded. She was my best friend. She welcomed me everyday when I got home from work by jumping in the air and barking up a storm. She was my shadow who followed me everywhere. She knew when I was sad and would place her head in my lap and look up at me with her big brown eyes. She must have been starved as a puppy because she was always stealing food from the counter when I wasnt looking. The hardest decision I ever had to make was having her put to sleep so she couldnt hurt others or herself. Not until I read Resucing Sprite have I felt anyone could possibly understand my loss. I will keep this book close to my heart and pass it on to others who have had to endure the loss of their best friend. Thank you so much for writing this book and sharing your loss so others would know they are not alone. God Bless you and your family and may Pepsi and Griffin have long and healthy lifes.
