Rosie sleeps at least 18 hours a day.
She has her food prepared for her and she eats whenever she wants. Most importantly, her meals are provided to her at no cost. In fact, every where she goes, people feed her and she never has to pay for any of it.
Rosie visits the doctor at least once a year for her checkup, and whenever there is any kind of bump, lump or other issue that needs to be checked. For these services, nothing is required of her and she never sees a bill.
She lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than she needs, and she is not required to expend any effort or money for its upkeep. If she makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. When she travels, she sleeps on the best bed and others make room to accommodate her. All of these accommodations are provided to her free of charge.
Rosie is living like a Queen and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of her costs are paid by others who go out and work to pay for her pampered lifestyle.
And that’s when it hit me…
Rosie is a member of Congress!

This was fashioned from an e-mail sent to me by a good friend. That e-mail was accompanied by this picture...
The Senator and I hope you have a lovely day.
I got that same e-mail and determined that Cooper is a member of Congress, too. LOL
Seriously - what a life!!!!

What a hoot! Thanks for the Monday morning giggles.

Very cute and also very true. I've got 5 members of Congress in my household as well.

It sounds so right, but my senators are more intelligent than the elected ones.
Posted by: Dana | September 05, 2011 at 07:25 AM
I'd vote for Rosie any day. At least dogs love and care about us. Not sure I could say the same about the current congress!

It is afterall, "A Dog's Life." What is really funny is if that was a slacker, moocher or whatever you want to call them (afamily member)...would be be as tickled to see lounging all the time? Yepper...."A Dog's Life!"
Posted by: Mary Flynn | September 05, 2011 at 08:00 AM
LOL! Well she gets my vote! She's loyal without fail, would protect you at all costs, and loves you unconditionally. I think Congress could learn a thing or two from her!

ROFL and I thought my dogs had a a good life...I best not show them your post. Hugs Linda

And she's worth every penny! Can't say that about any other members of Congress!
Posted by: Julie Forslev | September 05, 2011 at 08:38 AM
At this point, my vote goes to Rosie! At least she didn't assign herself all of those perks, and she doesn't waste any money people give to her.

Good one!

I have about decided that in the next election I will not vote for ANY INCUMBENT. I will make an exception in the case of Rosie!
Our Sophie would like to add that when you are 93 you can get ice cream cups (Frosty Paws) every night and when you piddle in your sleep you get clean sheets every day! Diapers are right around the corner and paid for by the resident housekeeper. Sunday mornings are very special in the nursing home. The staff gives you eggs and bacon!

Oh my goodness, I have two members of Congress living with me. Hmmm...let me rephrase that...I work for two members of Congress who wake me at 5:30am every single morning to prepare their breakfast. Then I must escort them down the stair to their (open) doggie er...VIP door. After they go out to do what Congress does best (oh, that was naughty *snicker*), I am waiting at the top of the stairs with a treat for them, wait while they enjoy it the watch them go back to their beds to sleep. I don't get paid a single plug nickle for these services. ((However, I am repaid 100 fold in unconditional love and companionship)). Love the photos and the email...talk about hitting the nail on the head!!! Hugs...

Love it! My vote for Rosie!

I have two Congressional members living at my house. They get along well most of the time--doing whatever it takes to ensure their own comfort. However, if one takes the prized spot that the other one wants then there is a great deal of wrestling, hair pulling, chasing and biting til the prized spot is yielded or held on to. It seems both benefit from this exchange and we still get second choice on the couch or bed. Hmmmmm. Sounds very familiar!
Posted by: Mary | September 05, 2011 at 04:01 PM
I'm pretty sure that I would vote for Rosie. Your email made my day!! I have 5 members of congress living here. Like someone else said, at least she didn't vote those things in for herself! I appreciate your sense of humor. Is Miss Rosie a tea drinker by chance? LOL.
Posted by: Mama Spark | September 05, 2011 at 05:21 PM
Does Rosie need a campaign manager?
Posted by: Mary on Lake Pulaski | September 05, 2011 at 07:54 PM
Cute :) Looks like Rosie has the perfect life. :)
Posted by: Jess | September 05, 2011 at 07:54 PM
Perfect, absolutely perfect!!! Hey, Carrie, Rosie's a lot smarter than most members of congress, and I'd vote for her any day. Hugs!
Posted by: Edie Gottschall | September 06, 2011 at 11:05 AM
Too funny! Thanks! My two senators, Miss Murphy and Riley, would agree wholeheartedly that they like the job, too, and would like to keep it indefinitely - no term limits for them!!
Posted by: Linda K | September 06, 2011 at 02:26 PM
You kill me! That is so funny... and so true!
Posted by: Sinta Renee | September 07, 2011 at 11:22 AM
I don't think ROsie would have any problem getting elected!
Posted by: Sunny | September 08, 2011 at 05:28 AM
I hope you enjoy Rosie for many years to come!! My precious Sunny Boy can no longer send puppy kisses to her or to me for that matter. We lost our precious little man a week ago Monday. I can hardly function, in fact I can hardly go to my sewing room without my constant faithful companion and confindant. Not to be a downer, but just a gentle reminder (not that you need it) to treasure every minute. Not sure when it is all supposed to start getting easier. Do you suppose I could make the new house quilt into little doggie housese?? Nah..... he was strictly a bed guy!!!
I am loving all the new patterns!
Posted by: Linda P | September 08, 2011 at 04:28 PM
I Love it!!!
And so true!!
Bravo!

It's wonderful just like Rosie. Our little girl was 16 when she went to sleep. My husband and I miss her so much. Hope Rosie lives to 20!
