Sire: Sorbrook Pied Piper
Dam: Spendles Sparkler of Powerscourt
Rosie lived a long and happy life. She gave me so much pleasure and I believe she knew the love was reciprocated. She sadly left us in March 2011 after a short but brave fight with cancer. Sleep tight my darling, will think of you always & miss you more than anyone will ever know, God bless. Like her brother Toby, she has been my "soul mate" and the gap she leaves at Powerscourt and in my heart will NEVER be filled xxx
Rosie was the most wonderful dog anyone could wish to own. I know that one shouldn't have favourites, but Rosie was so very special to me. I loved her to bits! She was "soul mate" and constant companion.
Rosie had a rough start to life and was hand reared and consequently she occupies a very special place in my heart. She was a sweet natured and beautiful girl. It's hard to believe that twelve & half years ago, the arrival of a little pup could change my entire life!
It was never my intention to have a litter from Rosie, however fate intervened and courtesy of our children, a 12 month old 'Romeo' going by the name of Archie (Riondel Venture to Powerscourt) took matters into his own hands & a delightful litter of five beautiful girl pups arrived in due course! We kept a little girl who we called Phoebe (Powerscourt Pure Magic).
Although Phoebe arrived by "magic" the chance meeting of Rosie and Archie proved fortuitous as she did well for me in the ring and went on to give me Lottie (P. Power Of Love JW) and Sophie (P. Pure Silk) - same way bred as Lottie. They are two beautiful and typey girls with endearing personalities.
Rosie's Granddaughter Lottie (Powerscourt Power Of Love JW) made her show debut in 2004 and was a very successful show girl who went on to provide us with some very happy and typical offspring. Sophie had a brief show career & was well placed and went on to give us the gift of Teddy (P. Mr Pointment).
Rosie is Great Grandmother to Minty, Buttons and Pattie, Great Great Grandmother to Juno & Tasha and Great, Great, Great Grandmother to Hattie!
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
