Rosie Ryan

My name is Rosie. I am a maltese shitzu female at age 4. I have lived my whole life with the Ryan family. I remember my first night with them, it was so much fun, i chased Amelia around the polished black tiles, trying to catch onto the ribbon she was dangling behind her as she ran. I was only little then, i could fit into the palm of a humans hand. I had dark black fur and when i ate my food, my back legs would rise up off the ground because my head was heavier than the rest of my body.

Over the years i have grown to love and live with my family. I have a little red box as my bed where i keep my special biscuits hidden under my tiger rug. I only sleep in this bed at night time, for the rest of the day i lay on the window sill, watching people drive past. I get angry at them sometimes, when they don't keep moving, i bark until they get the message that they aren't welcome on my street. The leaves especially tend to linger on my land. I bark out loud if they move or fall from the trees. How dare they...

When i am not sleeping, eating or keeping peace in my neighbourhood, i like to play. My basket of toys sits at the foot of the bookshelf and i pull them all out until i find my Sulley doll or my Froggy, who lost his ribbet after a particularly fast paced game... i didn't mean to hurt him.

I love my life, and my life loves me because as they say, it's a dogs life...
