Speaking of pets, I just wanted to add that I thought it strange that ‘A’ didn’t end up keeping Rosco herself. Did she ever express any interest in keeping him or was she just not interested? I mean, it would have made sense for Rosco to stay and continue living with her at the family home.
‘A’ must have felt some affection for Rosco just from having lived with him and from having developed the usual attachments one generally does with any family pet? But particularly as Rosco was the only survivor of whatever occurred that night at the house, that Rosco belonged to Terry, that he was a cherished/loved companion, family member and continues to be a living reminder and link to her father. I would have thought Rosco would be an excellent source of comfort and happy memories for 'A' following such a great loss. At the very least he could have been useful in alerting her to any strangers entering the property, esp. given that she was so fearful there.
Im relieved for Roscos sake that ‘A’ didn’t keep him, (Rosco's a very lucky dog to have been adopted by you Sherry!), but I cant help wondering why.
Perhaps she saw Rosco as just more of Dads ‘property’ to give away.
Thanks for your comment of being a supa-star darlin.. :crazy:
But I am so far from that... :crazy:
I totally know that each and everyone on this forum would do EXACTLY what I am doing if it was your father or family member.. I'm just doing what I believe in and that is to help find the arse/s who murdered my family.. Well.. HELP find them... HELP LE find them... ANWAY...
Rosco... Rosco.. Rosco.. Ohhhh how I love 'The Rosco'. :blowkiss:
He is such a big bear... and LOVES to be loved.
You have to remember that "A" never lived in the house right after the murders - a renter moved in 3 weeks after the murders.
Her and XBF were living in the trailer/house on the lake. WAY SMALL.
Seriously - there would have been absolutly NO room for Big Rosco in that little trailer.
I actually don't think anyone offered to take him. :waitasec:
I just took him and nobody ruled against it.
She took Fritz (a miniture Doberman) that was Grandma's dog.
Remember Grandma survived too. GM lived in a trailer/house just beyond the backyard of Dad and Darleen's house/property. GM was home that night. GM found Darleen (her only daughter) along with 'A'. They both went into the house and found Darleen. I still dont understand why the papers only said it was "A" when I know that GM was with her.
Maybe to keep pps/press away from GM - she is very old and became very ill and needed medical attention at that moment.
I am so glad that we have Rosco. Truly it's been a struggle cuz of his ACL's giving out and having surgery on both - The financial drain on those surgeries has taken us back $3500 - but truly well worth it.:blowkiss:
I think it was more of an issue with how large of a dog he is and if anyone could house his size. Actually we never thought we would have kept him forever.
I/WE thought that after we left we would have been taking him back sometime later-on... BUT very soon after we left we were never welcomed back.
Soooo Rosco became ours.
All the best-
Rosco:blowkiss:
