I was so sad to learn last week that a very elderly neighbour and friend died, after a long spell in hospital. He leaves behind his little dog Rosie – herself a senior of 14 years and so I have given her a home with me. I’d assumed she was a quiet, sleepy little soul in her retirement years but she has surprised me with her perky, fun loving character, with some charming quirky ways.
She’s a black & tan Jack Russell cross with an early history of abuse and hence an RSPCA rescue as a young pup. I do not know how long we will have together as she is not in tip top health but we’ ve already become good companions. Unfortunately the timing is not great as I’m leaving at the weekend for a fortnight holiday to Israel but my daughter is going to step in as interim carer. I shall certainly miss her.
One for Monochrome Monday although she has some lovely colouring beneath her black coat
