Backstory

Rose isn’t allowed on the indoor furniture without explicit invitation. Even then she can be a little shy about it—but not out here. She’s giving me a look like, “I ordered a margarita. That looks more like a daiquiri.” Or I guess, “Whaat?!” would be more age appropriate.

Backstory

This picture illustrates one of the reasons Rose survived despite her puppyish preference for chewing antiques. She is the sweetest!

When Suna took this picture, Gwenyth (the corgi) had been blind for more than a year. Rose (the black pup) would find the tug rope for her and take it to Gwen. Gwen loved to play tug of war, even though she couldn’t find the rope. She and Rose would play until Gwen was tuckered.

I’m sure this exercise helped keep Gwen alive and happy a little longer.
