Rosie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rosie
Age: Nine years old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie
Home: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
 
   At the age of nine, Rosie is slowing down a little, thank goodness. She is a dog that is too smart for her own good. She had learned to open the sliding patio door with her nose and then found if it was locked she could unlock the kitchen window and slide that open!

    Since we have no sheep for Rosie to herd we try to keep busy other ways. We tried fly ball, but her now deceased old sister Spud taught her not to play with her toys, so every time Rosie grabbed the ball she would drop it and look for Spud. She now goes running in the morning with her mom, they both love it. When Spud passed away we thought about getting Rosie a brother or sister but she does not get along with most other dogs, so her brothers, Spirit and Chet, are both cats. Rosie is also a great watch dog, she loves the people she knows, but strangers are not welcome, which is sometimes a problem but we love her just the same.
