More: Rooney is smart and hilariously funny. She retrieves beautifully, but then plays keep away. If you dare to stop petting her, she swats you with her paw. When it is time for a walk, she will talk at you until you relent. She hates being left behind on boat rides. She loves long walks and even longer naps, lives to sit on the porch or deck and is the proud owner of two twenty-something boys.
