Rose likes to sit on the edge of the barn – especially if I’m in it, and watch the sheep. The barn is special to me, and Maria and I will be married in there. There is a loneliness to Rose, in many ways a tough dog, in many ways vulnerable, different from the others and off by herself much of the time. Lenore is a dog that is very available, and there is a part of Rose that is unreachable, feels a bit lonely to me sometimes.
