Rosie Greets Us in the Lobby

Cindee and Sarah with Rosie. What an awesome feeling these two must feel to see a happy ending when we get to take Rosie home from this long awaited day. Happy and healthy!

The Day Has Finally Come

We arrived Friday March 16th to bring our Rosie home. She has been here at this wonderful veterinary hospital getting better day by day for the last twenty six days.

Too Much Sun Makes Me Goofy

Here's a couple of images from the weekend before we drove Rosie out to WSU
to begin her radiation therapy. I was feeling very guilty and thought, maybe if I shot another hundred images or so of her just before she's leaves for nearly a month it would make me feel better. It did make me feel a little better because I know I captured several good images. But the guilt never went away, especially during the first weekend Rosie was gone. My wife DeeDee was out of town that weekend too and our home had never been so quite in all my life.

Rosie Loves Napping Belly Up

Rosie loves to position herself so that she can sleep in a u-turn position with her legs sprawled out and her belly high in the air.

Rosie's Cell Mates

Thanks to all the students at Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine who take such good care of Rosie and all other patients.

Look At All This Snow

A cold day in the snow beats any day in the hospital. February 22, Siddra and Rosie on her daily walk.

A Walk in the Snow

Thanks so much Hailey for sending us these images of Rosie and other patients on their walk in the snow.

Toby Will Be Missed

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Toby, and his parents Rob and Karla. Rosie lost her next door neighbor buddy while she was away in Pullman during her radiation treatment. Toby went to doggy heaven last Friday, he lived a good life and a ripe old age of fourteen before we said goodbye to him. He will be dearly missed, especially by Rosie.

He Loved Guarding the Neighborhood

When Toby saw one of us arrive home from work he would stand at our front door step and bark every so often until DeeDee or I would open the front door and give him a treat. He would then swagger away with his massive frame and lay back down in the front yard. Mission accomplished!

All Dogs Go To Heaven

I believe dogs are loaned to us from heaven. They are sent here to teach us many valuable lessons. Loyalty, friendship, unconditional love, and they always live today like there's no tomorrow.
