I'm Rosa, and my foster mum says if she didn't have two already, I would be staying. I like you to roll the R when you call my name, so I would probably like pasta.

I am a very happy little vegemite and love everyone. I’m a wiggler, cuddler, sook and will attach myself to you like glue, which does make mum's own dogs a bit jealous as I am only just learning 'back off' as I can be a little bit overboard when it comes to smothering you with love. If you let me, I will get on the bed tuck my head under yours and just melt into you. I am super intelligent and absorb what you tell me like a sponge, so I learned 'Off the bed" pretty quickly, but then mum says Good girl and I drop on command now.

I walk beside you on or off lead, you will be amazed at how good I am. I learnt that in two days. I learned so many things, and my foster mum is constantly amazed by my speed of learning, but then, I am a German Shepherd x Kelpie, so I am going to amaze you every day,

I’m young, and I love you, so I am learning not to jump up but I like you to put your hand down where I can connect with you all the time. I might jump and cuddle if I am scared, but I am sooo much better now, as I am realising most dogs are fun and I am not so scared by all those things in the big wide world I never experienced before. I get so upset if mum tells me off, I sometimes pee, but I'm getting over that now too and I'm nearly always very very good, but she doesn't like me chasing anything. But given my kelpie background, I need stimulation, play, walks and company of other dogs, particularly young ones that will play with me.

I’m ever so good when mum goes out. I just go back up to the house and stay with my two doggy friends, but I am so happy when she comes home I just turn into a loony temporarily. I did start chewing a papasan chair once when mum was out, but I think I just need stuff to chew. I’ve never chewed shoes, or in fact anything else except those nice Oinkers mum gets for me or bones. I don’t jump out, I don’t really do anything naughty at all. I am, although I am embarrassed to admit it, perfect, intelligent and very cuddly. Oh, and I am told I am very pretty.
