A well-behaved Rosie produces fewer stories than a mischievous Rosie
Alternate title to this post: A tired dog is a good dog.
She had a busy weekend. On Saturday, she had two good walks, played with Riley, went out to Minnetonka and played with Riley and Patches until everyone was wet and exhausted.
Our former neighbors stopped by to meet her, and brought her two toys, and she was so grateful she peed in the house twice. (OK, she has stopped biting, but the next thing to work on is her housebreaking.)
On Sunday: more walks! More play! Nothing of note! We worked on getting her to bring the tennis ball back after chasing it so endearingly. (She watches it fly across the yard and then goes into a little crouch and then bounces and leaps after it.) If I give her a treat, she'll drop it nicely. If I don't, she tries to play catch-me-if-you-can.
Around 6 p.m. she was out of gas. We were sitting out in the yard and she crawled onto Doug's lap, curled up, and went to sleep.

A well-behaved Rosie produces pictures just as cute as a mischievous Rosie....
Your adventures with Rosie have been a pure delight to read. May your good luck continue.
Awww, they are so cute when they're asleep, no?
We love tired dogs here too. Our favorite way to tire all 6 out at the same time is to take the bubble gun out and blow bubbles for them to chase for about 15 minutes, lol works everytime!
Exactly why I run my kids ragged! Hahaha.
I'm glad to hear that she's coming around so nicely. I'm sure there's still lots to tell. WE think anything she does is cute, really!
She must be growing and needs more rest..you should prepare for round two! A tired dog is a good dog:)
Rosi asleep looks very angelic ... it sounds as if all is proceeding well on the obedience training front. She will soon be the perfect companion for you, and for Riley.
Take care xoxox

Gosh, she's growng fast
Sleeping puppies, or full-grown dogs for that matter, are adorable. Love the picture.
Rosie is the spitting image of a lab mix I got while I was in college. She, like Rosie, was a devil (her nickname was Taz, short, of course, for Tasmanian Devil). And she never quite grew out of a lot of the out-of-control behavior, despite training. I find myself laughing out loud at the descriptions of Rosie's exploits. One of Katja's favorite tricks was, as a full-grown Lab, to sneak up underneath the fitted sheet on the bed and crawl up between the mattress and the sheet. She would then roll over on her back and put her paws in the air, but never ever managed to pop the sheet off the bed. She also used to hide there, thinking we couldn't see her. If you stuck your hand up under the sheet she'd try to chomp it (in a playful way). She was the dog that drove my mom to say, "NO MORE DOGS." But we got another one when she was gone.
Beware! When they are sleeping, they are GROWING!!!
