Rosie's name is Nina

    Happy endings for everyone! Obviously the cosmos knew who Rosie should be with. Kudos to her first family for understanding that Rosie/Nina would be safer and much better off with you. And since you all live so close, it's not like they will never see her again. When I hear about things like this, I feel my faith in the human race is restored a little more.

    I am glad they did what was best for the dog! I would keep her name as Rosie.

    Thank you for sharing! It reminds me of the saying, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours. If not, it never was…". It's so nice to hear a happy ending. Here's a baroo to Rosie dear! :)

    Thanks you for sharing that wonderful story! They got to have closure and know what happened to their pup, and you got her back in the end. I'm sure that first night was awful, but you did the right thing to let them take her, and they did the right thing to give her back to you! "Win-win" all around.

    That was such a heartwarming story, I am using a Kleenex now!!! I am happy for all those involved, especially you and Rosie, since that Rottie does not seem like a good mix at the house….!

    It was a very strange week for me. That day, I went out for my daily walk and two hours later I didnt have Rosie anymore.. It was awful, and I felt good for them, but at the same time I felt angry and wasn't sure if I should have waited a few days before returning her.. I hate when I make such quick decisions, I always wonder if I did the right thing.
    The next morning I'm driving to work and the phone rings …..
    then I knew I had done the right thing, because they really had her well being in mind and they were very concerned that the Rottie would hurt her. and since we live close by, we see each other often now. I walk by their house , usually on weekends.....

    No problems, lets me learn for future reference which is always a good thing :) Kaia is still petite. I haven't weighed her in about 2 weeks or so, she had been hovering just a smidge under 18 lbs, she may have finally gone over that now. That's why I was hoping to put off until July, wanted to make sure she had plenty of time to grow because we weren't too sure if she grows slowly or if she'll just stay petite. But I look back on her first pictures with us and wonder when she got so big!

    Dogs learn quickly, especially if their former home was not so nice. Then a new name is perfect. We changed Nicky's name from Nyako, picked a "sound alike" and she learned it pretty quickly, well, as much as some basenjis ever "learn" their name. Some days she doesn't recognize it at all, haha. Eddie was Skippy, I looked at him and called him Fast Eddie and it stuck. That boy knows his name all the time! And do tell, what is the awful name???
