Rosie, the pumpkin pie distractor

Just before Thanksgiving, Jerry makes pumpkin pies with two of our grandchildren, Michael and Patrick.  It is a time of year that the boys look forward to and Jerry is making memories with them.

The boys have a little sister, Isabel, that came with them.  She will be three the day after Christmas.  We had hoped that she would want to participate in the pie making but she really had no interest at all. The only thing she wanted to do was play, pet and hold Rosie.  She can not get enough of Rosie. Loves her to death. 

Rosie likes Isabel too.  Everytime she comes over, Rosie chases Isabel and Isabel chases Rosie.

They are good friends. 

After the pumpkin pies were done, Isabel didn't have any problem wanting to eat some.  Papa even fed some to her.  She is so silly.

Well, another Thanksgiving has come and pumpkin pies are eaten.  Rosie made it through her first Thanksgiving by distracting our little girl from making pies.  But that is okay.

I love my Rosie, distractions and all.



Rosie's first Halloween

Rosie's first Halloween was fun filled.  She started out on Friday night with a few of her closest human friends spending the night.  Actually, it was five of our grandchildren and my nephew.  All of the kids decorated cupcakes and Rosie was treated to cakes crumbs and sprinkles that made their way to the floor.

We then threw lots of comforters, sleeping bags and pillows on the floor and the kids piled in.  Rosie loved that too.  She can't get enough attention.

On Saturday night we went to my sister's for her annual Halloween party.  We all dressed up including Rosie and Milo.  Boy did Rosie ever have fun.  She loves, loves , loves Milo!

The biggest problem was that Milo liked Rosie's princess hat and thought it was a toy.  He really wanted it.  Needless to say, it didn't stay on Rosie's head very long.

Rosie was a pooped puppy on Sunday and rested most of the day.  On Monday afternoon she went to work with me.  She really wanted Kin, my boss, to be there so she could trick or treat in his office, but he wasn't.  So I took a picture of her sitting in his chair and sent it to him.

Although she didn't get a treat, she didn't trick him:)

Halloween night night we went to Ian and Tony's house to watch all the kids trick or treat.  It was a crazy fun time.  My sister and I gave out candy to hundreds of kids while the rest of the family went trick or treating.

Ready, set, go!!! Actually, Rosie stayed with us, but she really wanted to go with the kids.

After all of the celebrations throughout the weekend and Monday, we had one tired puppy on Tuesday.  She loves activity but when she is tired she sits on the back of the couch and snoozes away. Maybe next year she will get to walk with the kids and have the full trick or treating experience, but for now she is still just our baby.

I love my Rosie, trick or treat or not.
