"Rosie definitely felt the need to be close to the people she loved when she wasn’t feeling good. This is also why she slept a lot.



Her reluctance to interact with other dogs was also linked to how she was feeling – she only wanted to be with “close family”. None of us want to chat to strangers when we aren’t feeling our best. The same goes for the growling – it was more to do with feeling grumpy at the time, it was not aimed at you personally.



Rosie did have a special bond with your brother - she saw him as a sibling rather than a human. She is pleased that he has kept her collar as a reminder of the great times they had together.



Anna was very aware that Rosie was ready to go to Rainbow Bridge and they shared a very special bond. Rosie always felt secure with Anna at her side which is why she got so distressed when they were apart. She is actively encouraging you to take another dog into your home and is going to be a major factor in the one you choose. There may be a few that you consider but one will come along that you simply will not be able to resist – Rosie’s choice.



She will be near you, especially in the early days of her passing to the Bridge and did visit your Mom as she crossed. Rosie still feels all the love that you had for her and it makes her happy – being with you was a major part of her life’s path."
