Rosie's a Girl

Losing Weight

I am looking so TRIM. Well, for a few days this week I admit I looked like I had been clipped by a groomer with Parkinson's disease. GIANT tufts of my hair were falling out, but giant tufts were staying in, too. This is my first spring with my adult coat. I have been getting HOURS a day of brushing from my mom, who has "special" clothes she puts on to come outside to see me. (I'm living outside this week.) When I run around the yard I look like I'm SNOWING. The big dumb one, who always "says" he wants to run and then gets really tired really quickly, ahem, rolled around in some disgusting stuff and got us in trouble.

I have some horrible new contraption that fits over my face and pushes on my nose when I try to pull away from Mom. (She is soooooo slow. A cane even!) Mostly, though, we don't use that--she pets me and sings. And brushes.
