Rossi’s Biography

She is the more physically intimidating (read: FAT) of the famous duo Martini and Rossi. Rossi has no useful skills other than an amazing capacity to bark for hours at dusk. She uses her prominent size to block entry into the kennel, bully the other dogs for the best blankets and threaten humans with torn ACLs when she sideswipes them on her way to the food bowl.

Harboring a deep resentment for her better looking and more shapely sister, Rossi will alert her owners immediately when Martini escapes from the yard. Despite her size and vocal demeanor, Rossi is fearful of most creatures and a few inanimate objects (she once nearly broke her own rib trying to escape a perceived attack by a cardboard box).

Rossi lives in the mountains of Colorado in a kennel within which she approves all canine sleeping arrangements. She enjoys food and defines it broadly (you really don’t want to know what she eats). She is suspicious of all things that were not present in her yard since she arrived in it five years ago and has no memory of ever meeting anyone before and therefore approaches each person cautiously. She has no email address and generally doesn’t trust technology (probably because of a bad experience with the electronic fence).

Rossi and her sister, Martini, joined their brother Sparky as a spiritual protector of the Mitchell family in April 2015.
