Rosie RIP
A week ago I rediscovered some old web pages I had no Rosie, circa 1997/98: some very early pictures, and a day at the parade, and the top level page, and my little daughters, who are big fans of Rosie, have been asking to seem those pages every day.
We were all very sad today when we received the following email from Alex:
Subject: Goodbye to Rosie….
It is with immeasurable sorrow, that I inform my friends of the death of Rosie, our wonderful mascot of almost 9 years.
Rosie appears to have suffered a sudden massive heart attack while we were playing at Red Rock on Saturday at 11am. Attempts to resuscitate her failed.
Rosie became a part of the Perinatal Center at 6 weeks of age, and entertained young and old with her snorts and wiggles on a daily basis.Not a single person who met Rosie was ever able to walk away without a smile or a chuckle.
She as a true “hummer dog”, climbing through rocks and playing in water whenever possible, despite not being able to swim.
Rosie was the closest thing to a child I have ever had. She will be deeply missed. She was first in many ways. Perhaps now she will be remembered as the first dog to have an E-funeral. Please forward this to those you know loved Rosie.
My thanks to all who have sent kind words.
Fondly,
Alex Soffici
