Remembering Rosie by Spanno on March 17, 2009 [Editor's note--This is the heartwarming story about a very special dog named Rosie and her chance encounter with a deer. It was sent in by her mom, Collene. Rosie passed away in February at the age of 12.] We adopted Rosie from Lab rescue when she was a few months old. Rosie was the single best dog in the history of dogs. That's unequivocal. What is still open for debate is whether Rosie was the best mammal that was ever on the planet. We think she was but there are several hundred thousand years worth of mammals and we didn't know them all. But clearly Rosie ranked above all the people and may have been the standard against which every living thing is measured. Rosie's encounter with the deer was much like her encounter with everyone. Within seconds she made a new friend. This deer was a friend Rosie made on the Steerhead Ranch, right at the base of the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. They met one day by chance one summer in front of the main ranch house--clearly it was not hunting season. Rosie was outside looking for varmints to chase and the deer must have wandered down from the creek, where they would gather during the day. As miracles go, I glanced out the window and happened to have my camera. They were having such fun, they did not seem to notice my presence as I quietly recorded their encounter. We are pretty sure the deer went home and told her friends about Rosie because late each summer as the deer migrate across the alfalfa fields between the ranch and the Big Horn Mountains, they always pause and look toward the ranch house for their friend. wagreflex.com * * *
