I would like everyone to meet Rosie Faye, she's my newest baby.

I was coming home from buying groceries, just before Christmas last year, and there she was. She's a golden retriever and so loving.

As I rounded the bend on Garrison Road, I saw her dart right in front of a car. I thought she was going to get run over. It was raining and she was wet. I had my car full of supplies and really didn't need a new dog. I almost kept going. But she looked so sad and afraid. Her tail between her legs. I had to stop.

Our neighbors had three golden retrievers and I thought that surely she had got out of their fence and got too far from home. So I loaded her stinky self up.

When I got home I noticed the neighbor had their three dogs and thought "Oh No!, now what can I do." Tim was going to hit the roof.

When he got home, he immediately put her out of the gate - telling her to go home... I told him what happened and he grudgingly allowed her to stay - as long as I notified the local stores in the area that we were looking for her owner. I did that, but no one inquired back. SOOO....

Now I have a new addition to my family. She went in heat last month so we had her spade. After spending money on her, Tim has realized that She Ain't Going Nowhere.
