Yes, Rosie was my heart dog. I was insanely in love with that girl. Everyone else pretty much thought she was a doofus. I was heartbroken when she was died at only 3 years old. (she ran out in front of a truck)

I would say that Star and Chow Chow have been my soul pets. I'm just so connected to both of them, it's like we can read each others minds. Star is my first dog. I'd owned at least a dozen cats before Chow Chow, but he was MY cat, with me for 17 years.
