10 days home

Sweet, kind, a Licking and Walk Queen. She's figured out the front door means walks and the back door means hunting in the back yard. Either is fine with her.

Once again, our bedtimes are being dictated by a dog! We're trying to decide about letting her sleep where she chooses. Roxie is the first dog in 40 years who is not sleeping in bed with us. She doesn't want to. Alternately, she wants to sleep in the TV room, the dining room or the family room on a Pottery Barn chair.

She is fully housetrained and doesn't have any chewing the furniture problems, so I'm thinking we'll just let her choose her spot. When she is asleep for the night, she does not want to move. We get the tiniest, lady-like growly purring warning. I just tell her "no fussing at Mama" and she stops. But why shouldn't she sleep where she wants? So we'll let it work itself out.....

So far, the settling in period has gone like magic. I don't know what else to say except Roxie is perfect...
