Thank you very much, everyone, for your kind thoughts. We still just can't quite believe she's gone. Every time I walk in the house, there's the instant where I wonder what's wrong. Then I remember ... Oh. No Rosie jumping on my legs, practically knocking me over because she is just sooooooooo happy to see me, even if I was out of the house for three minutes.

That's very sweet. I keep thinking of that every time I think of her. I know someone, somewhere needed her more than we did, for some reason. And only a dog with a heart that big could do the job.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
