So why would I, a dog, want to have my own blog? I suppose I could say “because I can”, but it’s more than that. I’m a smart and opinionated dog, and since Lisa (female human) won’t let me post on her blog – She goes on and on about it being her “happy place” where she doesn’t want to post anything negative. Ha! – I’ll have to find another forum for my thoughts. Also, one thing that is sorely lacking on her blog is lots of photos and stories about me. I’m confused about that. I’m the cutest pup in the neighbourhood, and she takes lots of photos of me, but she refuses to post most of them. And of course when she does write about me, it’s not always accurate. So I want to be able to clear up any misconceptions.
I know the blog title mentions the cat, but really this blog is about me. Rosie. Otherwise known as Bear or Snugglebug. Neurotic Cat is a big part of my life though. We hang out together, we sleep together, we eat together (occasionally out of the same bowl if Neurotic Cat allows me to) and we like some of the same games. So I guess I can’t leave her out of things entirely.
I am a 4-year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Staffie, for short). Staffies have a bit of an image problem at the moment. People think we are fierce, vicious dogs. I hope to change their minds by telling stories about my life. And of course, I’ll get to talk about me, and post cute photos of me. And maybe the Neurotic Cat too . . .
I’d like to make some blogging friends, so leave a comment or drop me a line. If you want to follow my blog (go on – you know you do! 🙂 ),scroll down to the bottom of this post for a “Follow” button.
Life with a Neurotic Cat 
This is BRILLIANT!!!
Hello Rosie-Bear! How lovely to meet you! I see that you have already met and made friends with Flat Kathy! 😀
My first comment – this is SO exciting! Thanks for the kind comment. Yes, Flat Kathy is great – and we new bloggers have to stick together. 🙂
Flat Kathy replies:
Yes, indeed, we must do our best to get some traffic our way. I think you’ll get quite a big following very soon, Rosie Bear. You are clearly quite a character with a strong, confident voice. And good on you for insisting on your own space, to post your own pictures.
Hello miss Rose! Welcome to blog-world 🙂
Hope to hear lots of tales about your adventures and experiences – and how you keep your humans in line of course 😉
Thanks for the welcome Clouded Marbles! I know you had been telling Lisa to write more about me for ages, but she never did. So I eventually decided to take things into my own paws. 🙂
I’m so delighted that Lisa finally caved in to your wishes 🙂
Welcome to blog-land!
Thank you Lu! 🙂 My blog was in the pipe-line for quite a while. Took ages to convince Lisa I needed one.
Okay, Rosie, thank the blog-dog-gods that at least one our kind has her own site! It’s about time! I’m writing here in my mom’s voice–Kathy–but I hope to correct that soon. You rock, Rosie. I’ve loved you from the “Jet-set Puppy” post that Lisa did. At any rate, I will follow you for sure!
Barks,
Lucy
Thank you Lucy (and Kathy)! I’m never going to live down the Jet-set Puppy posts – there were some inaccuracies in them which I plan to address at some stage.
Hello Rosie! You are adorable. Now that you have your own dog blog, Reggie may get jealous and want to blog also. He has a lot of opinions about bones and squeaky toys. I know that you are going to show people that just like they shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, they shouldn’t judge a puppy by her breed. Every dog is an individual!
Woofs from Reggie!
Thanks Jackie! Reggie is such a handsome dog – and seems very smart too.
Hello Rosie! Humans have such odd ideas about what’s important, I look forward to your more balanced views.
Hello Skadhu! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
Yes, we dogs certainly have our priorities right. Humans make things so complicated.
Hello, Rosie! Don’t quite know how to tell you where Australia is, but I guess that does not matter! Don;’t have a canine friend to say ‘hi’ to you at the moment. But have had a 100 Kg White Alsatian [too big for you!], a big Red Setter [did not like urban life and had to resettle!], and Toby, the long-haired Dachshund [well, he did live a long, long life] and Charlie the Pembroke Corgi [you would laugh at all the stories, but Lisa would not!!!!]. So I DO hope we get to know one the other!!
Hello Eha! Thanks for visiting my blog. It’s good to know that you are a dog lover, just sad that you can’t have one right now. I think everyone should have a dog. I do know that Australians like Staffies too. Which is good.
Oh no, Rosie, now you’ve done it! If I tell my sister about your news, we’ll never hear the end of it till she eventually browbeats TWLG into letting her host her own blog. Me and Podi – the only time she’ll have time for us is when she needs stories – at our expense, I’m sure – for blog fillers, when TWLG hasn’t taken her photo for a few days. So you see Rosie, I can’t tell Maggie your news and share the excitement, please understand?
Best wishes,
Little Miss Kotte and Podi too 🙂
Hi Miss Kotte and Podi! Just been to check out your photos on TWLG and you are all just too cute. Especially liked the photos of you sleeping together. Miss Maggie does have a long nose – does she put it where it doesn’t belong? I do that – and I’ve got a much shorter nose.
The Melville Cat welcomes you to the blogosphere.
Thank you Mellville Cat! I think you write awesome posts, and Heather takes such beautiful photos of you. But then, like me, you’re very photogenic. 🙂
Rosie, please be a good dog and don’t chew on Flat Kathy’s stick …
Would I do that?! 😉
