This is my Gracie. She was born February 04, we got her in June/04 when she was 4 months old. She's named Gracie, 'cause she certainly wasn't!! Graceful, that is. Has turned into a GREAT dog! A real kick-ass marshmallow. :-) If anyone has a Rotti, or is thinking of getting one.. and they growl when you pet them... they aren't growling, they are "grumbling". I always say that she is purring!
Thank goodness we have an off-leash area that we can go to so that she gets exercised. It's like taking your 2 legged kids to the playground, only it's our fur kids. Wonderful place for the dogs to run and play. I used to bring balls with me to throw for her. She sucks at the "retrieving" part of the game. Now I just pick up rocks and throw them, and she busts ass to run after them! Which she loves to do! Run, that is. She even chased a coyote up the coulee hill the one morning, I felt sorry for the poor coyote!! To her, it was just another dog that was running... whooeee!!!
I took her camping down to Waterton the middle of September. In the snow and rain and cold temps, in a tent. The marshmallow woke me up twice that night cause she was shivering and cold. Poor sucky baby! Ya, Rotti's are killers! She has NO idea that she is supposed to protect me; for her, she needs me to protect her! Go figure! But they have that reputation, which makes people hesitate, not such a bad thing. And who knows, if I'm ever in that kind of situation, she may just rip someone's throat out. Ya, right. LOL

Must be a Rotti thing eh. Cleo's enduring--not gracefully--ear drops to clear up an infection. I guess this may be why people clip their ears, but I can't bare the idea. V
