Reya (aka Rosita): My 2nd Chance

22/03/2016

It's been a year since our lovely Rosita left us. Everyday we think of her, remembering her with a smile. A unique dog that changed our lives. Thanks for all your wishes and messages. Rosita, forever in our hearts. ❤️

Dear Rosita, Remember our roadtrip a year ago? Wow! Always so fun to travel with you, so many adventures, so many memories we built together. 5 months ago you left us, but your spirit remains in our home and in our hearts! Thanks for everything you gave us. We love you so much brave little girl! XO

Watch the video at the end of this article. So close to our hearts because of Rosita. Anyone who has an elderly dog or has lost a pet will feel identified. Little sad, but so heartwarming. It is beautiful, I promise you will enjoy it. Anyone who has lost their pet or has a sick pet will feel identified. Happy Weekend!

“When someone you love walks through the door, even if it happens five times a day, you should go totally insane with joy.” The video below, entitled “Denali,” is told from the point of view of a dog. It’s a gorgeous expression of love, gratitude, and friendship — and the journey a dog named Denali…

Hello Rosita's friends,

We aim to keep this page just related to Rosita and family, but we are exceptionally posting this request as this dog was saved by Rosita's vet and his team from the pound in Ireland, and they are desperately looking for a 5 star home for this girl who sounds like a perfect companion. CaraVetGroup team took fantastic care of Rosita and were always very generous with her and Pancho, so in Rosita's honour we would like to help them find a home for this girl. If we were in Ireland, we would definitely consider adding her to our family, but since we aren't, we are pleading to all our Irish friends and anyone with dog lover friends in Ireland to help us by sharing her story. A home in the Republic of Ireland would be the best for this girl! Please share and as always thanks for all your support! x

***FOREVER HOME URGENTLY NEEDED***
Syd rescued the gorgeous Betty Blue from the pound approx 2 months ago. She is a beautiful English Bull Terrier and we are in desperate need of a home for her. She needs a loving home and we have been trying so hard to find the perfect family for her. All of us have fallen in love with her, but we all have our full quota of pets at home ! Expect the Spanish Inquisition from our nurses if you are considering her! She will be spayed, chipped and 1st vaccinations given as well. Only genuine people will be considered and please no time wasters. If you are interested you MUST ring the clinic first to talk to a member of staff, please DO NOT arrive at the Hospital and expect to see her. Thank you

The 3 Amigos Wrecked after a day full of activities. It's Winter here, but it got up to 25 Celsius (77 F), very sunny and perfect for a bbq! So while Pancho was swimming, and Mishki running around (first day out since her neutering a week ago), Pedro stole half a kilo of Prime Steak that was about to go on the grill! All are happy, the new kids are very active and boisterous, but respecting their big bro Pancho, who in turn is very good to them and is showing them the ropes. Rosita is keeping a good eye on all of them from above.

What a heartwarming story! Brightened my day, a d she is called Rosie too! ❤️

For weeks, Rosie the pit bull was homeless on the streets of Los Angeles before strangers stepped in to help. Her rescuers were in for a huge surprise. When Rosie was approached by Eldad, she was hesitant and nervous. Eldad realized Rosie had just given birth to a litter of puppies, and was incredib…

Pancho is still trying to convince his new siblings about how fun swimming is, no luck so far!

What an amazing story! Give a pitbull a chance.

After losing his wife and son, man adopts an abused Pit Bull on death row and takes him on a trip of a lifetime.

Pancho sure enjoyed his holidays in the beach. He is mad about water, and the sea is his favourite for his "rescue job". He even filmed some of his adventures with the camera his uncle Salva gave him and Rosita for Christmas. At the start we could see he was quite quiet in the car as Rosita was his companion in all our roadtrips, but once we got to the sea he went mad with excitement. Back home now and he is missing the waves, back to his normal routine - the pool. 😉

Yesterday was a month since Rosita left us. The 23rd of April is a special occasion for us. A year ago we were in the West of Ireland where Rosi was Queen of the Castle. Today we are in Punta del Este, Uruguay and she is with us, she is the Queen of our Hearts. ❤️

Today is a sad day. As some of you know, I (Rosita's mom) am originally from Honduras, Central America and Rosita's dad is Irish. 10 years ago when I emigrated to Europe I had to leave my five dogs behind because back then (it still is) it was very hard to import dogs to Ireland from Honduras and I would not put them through a cruel lengthy quarantine. Instead my wonderful and kind parents took them in, and have taken the best care of them, same or better as I would have. Later my brother also emigrated so again my parents took his two dogs, including the gentlest of the pack, a rescue Pitbull. Over 10 years they were all one big happy pack. Today I got news that Figurin (because he was such a figure, a character) left them. Despite being 11 years old he was always the healthiest of the pack, he never even had a cold, chihuahuas age slowly. But suddenly he developed tachycardia and was taken to the vet hospital. He was admitted and was put on oxygen all day. He was then stable and released to go home. The next day he was back to normal. At night my mom put him in his little bed next to her side of the bed, but at 4 am my father found him dead by the door. He rushed to an emergency clinic but they confirmed the inevitable, he was gone. My father buried him next to other rescue dogs my father has had and have left us as well. One of the main reasons I go to Honduras at least twice a year is to see my dogs. When I walk into my parent's house it's mayhem, they all start crying, yelping, whining, jumping on me - that kind of welcome is only from dogs and it is priceless. Next time Figu will not be there rolling on his back and playing dead for me to pick him up as he always did. I feel devastated because this was so unexpected and I was not there to say goodbye. While we are obviously sad about Rosita, it's completely different as we knew the time was coming and were prepared for it and able to give her the best care and everything she wanted; and she died peacefully in the middle of us and Pancho. We have closure with Rosita, we can celebrate her life, I don't have closure with Figurin. This was the last picture I took on our last trip to Honduras, the 1st of January 2015. He climbed on my hand luggage. RIP Figurin, you are deeply missed by your mother, uncle, grandparents, and your loyal pack. Rosita please take care of him, he will need you.

Update on Rosita's Angels (as I like to call them): Winter is around the corner in Argentina. Pancho has been an excellent host, very welcoming with the new rescues. Pedro Black is bouncy and full of energ, a little rebel, but overall all he wants is human attention. We are working on his discipline and obedience, might get a trainer for him. We think he had roamed the streets a long time. We are now calling him Pete, pronounced in Spanish, as the O at the end confused Pancho and he would come everytime we called Pedro. The little girl is called Mis'ki pronounced Mishki. Since whe was found in the Peruvian community in Buenos Aires we wanted an Inka name. Mis'ki means sweet one in Quechua language. She is very very sweet and quiet and causes no trouble, she's still afraid of dogs and people, thinking that when someone gets close to her they will hit her; but her confidence is rising daily. She does climb on everything so in time it looks she will be an athletic dog. We are still treating her for her wounds and mange and putting some weight on her. So far so good! Xo
