After losing Jason it was a long time before another Boxer came into my life and that Boxer is Rosie. She arrived in summer (2007) and I was immediately struck by how much she looked like Jason. The main difference being she’s female and in comparison minuscule.

She’s seven years old and yet surprisingly active, like a much younger dog. All the more surprising because she has problem with her left back leg which has been damaged at some point in the past. Too much exercise and she limps terribly. She can however walk or run for huge distances while hopping to keep that leg off the ground

She’s very lovable very sooky and has a penchant for hedgehog hunting. Often appearing out of the dark with one, which is then unceremoniously dumped. With surprising force at your feet. She doesn’t appear to actually hurt them or, somehow herself.

Sadly and untimely Rosie passed on in February of 2011.
