Rosie

Her real name was Primrose (meaning beautiful as a rose). She was a black and white Great Dane. I had her for almost ten years and loved her with all my heart.

This past Friday (Dec. 6, 2001) I had to take her to the Vet's to be euthanized... She weighed 170 pounds. I believe it was her hip that gave out because she just couldn't go down the stairs to go outside. I took her back inside and tried to get her up and out a little while later. She just couldn't get up. She still had that magic in her eyes and that fire but her body was giving out. She tried so hard to get up but she couldn't....I then had to collect the people closest to me to get Rosie down the stairs and into my truck for her last ride... She loved going "by, by" more than anything, well, except food....

Rosie will be dearly missed by all the lives she touched and I do belive at the end of the tunnel, that bright light, is her rebirthing into another litter somewhere in the world, another baby rose..........
