🐾Precious Pets: Rosie the surfer girl!
My name is Rosie, and I am an 8 year old golden retriever. I live with my parents, Becki and Carl, and my 13 year old brother, Anderson. And, I am a professional countersurfer.
I love my family more than anything, but I don’t think that they always appreciate just how talented I am. It takes serious skill to patiently wait for Mom and Dad’s back to be turned, launch myself onto the counter, and nab whatever delicious treat they have left out for me. Some of my favorite goodies have included a pound of butter that was being brought to room temperature to make cookies, and an entire apple pie left out to cool. Yum!
I position myself near my family members whenever they are eating, in case they decide to drop something. I really enjoy when my family drops pretzels or tortilla chips, because they are deliciously crunchy! I chew my food very thoroughly. Unfortunately, this means that it’s really hard to fool my family when I am munching on a tasty treat.
My other hobbies, besides finding and eating food, are playing with my toys! I take very good care of all of the stuffed toys that my family gives me, and can usually be found with one close by. I especially love my toys with squeakers!
I also adore hanging out with my family. They are my favorite people in the whole world! I have been with them for my entire life, ever since my parents adopted me as a birthday present for Anderson. Each night when my mom gets home from work, I am waiting by the door to greet her.
During the summer, I love going on long walks with my family, or just being outside. It’s so much fun to sniff flowers, chase flying bugs, and nap in the sun! Plus, Anderson is home from school, so I get to hang out with him all day!
Once the weather turns cold, I plan to continue working on honing my countersurfing skills. If countersurfing ever becomes an Olympic sport, I’ll be ready to take home a gold medal!
