One Year







It has been one year since our dear, sweet Roxy came into our life. I must say if there was ever a more perfect dog, Roxy is it. She has settled in so well and is such a game little dog ready for what ever comes her way. When Covid is over and life returns to some sort of normal we will have to take some nice long road trips as car travel is one of her favorite joys.  






When we brought her home one of the breeders requirements was that she travel in a crate, which we dutifully obliged. But she was six years old not a puppy so after arriving home I folded the crate up and it is stored in the attic. Roxy has never had an accident and lets us know when the need to go out to the garden is necessary.  She enjoys a good walk, has never missed a meal, lets us know when there is something afoot but never barks just to be heard. 






During Covid and MeMa's battle with cancer she has adapted well to our quarantined life. She is so in-tuned with MeMa and recognizes when MeMa needs some extra snuggle time. The neighbors have all fallen in love with her sweet nature. 


 









When she first arrived Roxy would watch out the front window but never bark, she would watch goings on but remain silent. After a few months she decided that the neighborhood was part of her domain. Besides a shared hatred for squirrels she has a big hatred for the UPS delivery vehicles. Both receive a sound scolding until out of her sight. 











When bedtime approached Roxy is the first one ready to call it a day.























When we take too long getting ready for bed Roxy will attempt to speed things up by pulling down the bedding.

    1. She is quite the perfect pet. MeMa is doing very well. They just performed a needle biopsy on some microscopic spots discovered on her lymph nodes discovered on her last CT scan. But she is feeling very good.

  4. Roxy hit the jackpot with you and Mema, or vice versa. Lucky all around.

  5. She looks so lovely. These are the first two years of my life that I do not have a dog and I miss it very much.

  6. We went two years without as well. Roxy was six years old when we adopted her. There are so many dogs out there needing good homes.

  8. What a gem Roxy is, and how wonderful that she found her way to you and MeMa, the most perfect home. I know she is making a difference and is the perfect distraction and fun on the days when you need it most!

    And, continued prayers for healing for MeMa and ones for strength and continued comfort for you both. ❤
