I first posted about Rosie on that this thread:

The neighbours where the guy came to visit with his kids and Rosie came around, well, they moved. The man called me two days after they moved and asked to be kept informed!
Well, Charlene(Animal Control) was looking for her, I kept an eye out, several neighbours were...
Today, Saturday, I had time for a walk. I went up to the mobile home park and there she was! She came straight over to me, and I picked her up. Held her for a good 4 minute walk to my car, put her in the car...and she squirmed maybe once. Cheek rubs the rest of the time.
Once in the car, she sat on my lap and looked out the window!
We got to the Humane Society, and I carried her past several dogs - not a blink! Head bumps and stuff.
That's what is weird - she'll go to ANYONE, so it is a surprise she doesn't have a home. The man said she would come into their place and curl up on the couch and stuff. But that injury of hers went unchecked for a long time.
She is in a nice large warm crate/kennel on a clean white towel, with some kibble. And I stuck my fingers in and got head and cheek bumps again! Then she curled up, looking calm and contented. Wow.
She doesn't seem hungry at all, which is another thing - but she is likely a neighbourhood moocher too!
I especially wanted to look today because it is supposed to snow and get cold. A few flakes were falling here and there when I looked for her - and when I came out of the Humane, it was really starting to fly.
Her story is a puzzle, owned or not - but she is safe and warm and dry now.
Thanks for all your support and ideas before.
