We know that Pippa was bouncing with joy singing Pip-Pip Hooray as Rosie approached the gates of heaven. Rosie is preceded in death by her best friend Wildrose Pippa. We would often refer to her as the Queen because of her grace and poise. She loved children and was always in the mood to make new friends. Her favorite place was bathing in the sunlight of the front yard as she watched the goings on along the Bayou. She taught us to stop and enjoy a moment because there is no time like the present to know you are loved and adored. Rosie’s unconditional love provided a sound steadiness to our home and grounded us at the end of long busy days. She was also known to snag one of Darla’s special-made Thanksgiving carrot cakes or sneak a loaf of Wonder Bread from Aunt Donna’s pantry. Rosie knew good food and as she adjusted to retired life, she developed a particular title as a “Pizza Aficionado” and expert on all things bread. This legendary hunting characteristic made her a legacy in the world of Dams. She was often sent to find and gloriously retrieve evasive birds that left other dogs frustrated and bewildered. Known for her steady drive and her bionic nose, Rosie had a particular skill of finding lost birds.

She quickly adjusted to being our loyal, fun, abiding companion pup. John and in a surreal, regal moment, they escorted our Rosie on angel wings to her Foreverland.īorn Maighmor Madrid in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2005, Rosie came to us as a fully finished retired hunting Dam from Wildrose Kennels. As the bells of Holy Rosary coincidentally chimed the call for the Palm Sunday Mass, their glorious gongs rang out along Bayou St. Our dear, sweet Rosie passed from this earth yesterday at 10:50 am.
