"I start my day off with a heart warming kiss from my puppy, Melody. Every morning she runs into my room, jumps on me and gives me a bright hello. It's a great way to start the day, knowing someone really cares."(JAM 3/01)

Rosie spoiled her little sister Mel, and usually let her have anything she wanted... snatching items left within her reach is still considered a game to her! She has taken her change into "only dog" status well, and has helped us through the sorrow of missing Rosie.

She has many positive points -- she enjoys her time outside, and only barks if other dogs go by (acceptable), the occasional jogger (fine with me), and if a driver slows down or turns into our driveway (a good thing).
