Back in 2011, my husband and I weren’t breeders. We were just a young couple in love with a dog who had changed our lives in ways we hadn’t expected. Rosie weighed exactly 3.2 pounds the day she came home. She fit in the palm of my hand. And within a week, she had rearranged our entire world — our routines, our priorities, even the way we talked to each other. There was something about her gentleness, her intelligence, her complete and utter devotion to us, that we had never experienced with any other animal.
