Anna is on terminal watch for her dear kitty, Rosy. She so wanted a kitten back when she was 10 that she called the pet store herself to make sure the cat people would be there, then dragged us over to help her pick one out. She pointed to Rosy and said, "That one," and the rest is history. Rosy has been a wonderful addition to our family and I missed her when she went to live with Anna full time. She's 14 now and we'll miss her when she's gone.On the lighter side, we got a call from Guide Dogs about a puppy we raised. Many of you (are there even many of you who read this?) will remember Calliope was a cute little black lab puppy we had for nearly a year back in about 2005. She went on to another raiser for the last couple of months and then back to Guide Dogs where she was placed with a woman in California. We thought we would hear nothing more about her. But just after her placement she became big news when she saved a life by alerting her owner to someone in distress in the next apartment. Now her owner is in poor health and we got word Calliope is being retired. They wanted to know if we would like her back as a pet. You bet we would. Andrew and Sean are going to take her to their new house. Meanwhile she'll be hanging out at the Welfyhouse getting used to snow again.

Poor Rosy! I remember when we met and Rosy was still a kitten. Funny to think we were once that small---it brings back so many memories!
How nice for Sean and Andrew to get to have Calliope back. It's great that she has had so many adventures, and will hopefully have many more in her new home!
That is amazing! Those dogs are so smart!
