Happy Birthday Rosie!

Happy Birthday Rosie!!

07/03/08

9 months ago, we went to Pet's Smart to pick up some fish food and ended up leaving with a 3 month old pit bull mix, named Miss Piggy. We didn't expect to adopt a puppy that day, but it was love at first sight. We took her home and immediately had to chang her name.. After much help from the Internet dog/baby list and Erica we found the perfect one, Rosie. The first two weeks were hell.. we didn't know what we had gotten ourselves into. With midnight bathroom runs and her getting round worm, it was a little overwhelming. I know understand what having a child must feel like. But we would do it again in a heart beat. Rosie is the fun in our day, maybe a little rambunctious at times, but loves us unconditionally. Okay, well she loves Kelly more.. but I know she has a soft spot for me.

I never realized how small she was when we adopted her, but she was tiny! Here is a then and now picture of Kelly and her on the couch so you can get a general idea..




I'm not going to lie, it's hard to have a dog sometimes. Especially one as big and as energetic as Rosie, but she's one of the Hellstrom's now. She has made a big impact on our life and we love her! Happy Birthday Rosie!
