Rosie has now gone to her new home with Alison on Anglesey in North Wales.
I met Alison this lunchtime at the changeover point. Rosie took to her straightaway, giving her a fuss and kisses, Alison is a nice kind Lady who I'm sure will love and take care of Rosie in her twilight years. Alison's home sounds ideal for Rosie and she will have a brother and sister for company. She has a field to play in and is only 5 minutes from the beach.
I've also told Alison that if by any chance things don't work out ok then I'll take her back like a shot !!
There were tears in our house this morning and right up to the last minute it was a very difficult decision, but we couldn't disappoint Alison, who I know has been quite excited about taking Rosie home.
A strange mixture of emotions really.... the satisfaction of a job well done, but also a great deal of sadness at letting her go after becoming part of the family.
The good news is that we are going to stay in a cottage in Caernarvon at the end of May and Alison has invited us to go and visit her and Rosie with Billy and Lady and to meet her two dogs.
And Alison has promised to keep in touch and let us know how Rosie is progressing in her new home.
I'm sure she will be fine !!!
All that leaves me to say now is GOOD LUCK ROSIE ! and THANK YOU to everyone who has donated and supported Rosie throughout !!!
With a Special Thank You to Glenys, and my Vet Mr Locke and his staff.
