You might think that Rosie would prefer it if she had my lap to herself, but in reality she wants my laptop to herself. It's warm and doesn't pet her when she doesn't want to be petted.
In retrospect, Rosie was a good name for this girl. She's thorny like a real rose - soft silky ears with a random chance of prickly teeth. She was rescued as quite a young pup, but there's no way to know what trauma she dealt with before then. We'll continue to be patient and try to read her mixed signals and hope that she'll come to trust that we won't abandon her.
