Rosie (Mariposa) is excellent with animals. She loves them and is understanding of their different personalities. An example is that when she was in middle school her riding teacher had her dress up her horse for Halloween. The horse was not pleased and lightly bit Rosie. In response, Rosie kissed the horse gently on the nose. Rosie is very gentle with animals and easily gains their trust. In befriending a stray cat or trying to catch a runaway rabbit, Rosie managed to let the animals stay calm so that she could approach them or touch them Rosie is very reliable. She is a very practical person who is able to think on her feet in unexpected circumstances. I recommend her highly.
