Beauty, Once More

I just can't help myself. Here is another picture of beauty....

Bob and I have commented that maybe Rox knows by now that this is her final home. We are family # 5 for her. That must have been very confusing for her especially in the beginning. From a human standpoint, I'd sure be nervous about 5 homes in 5 years.... but Rox has made it through those homes intact. She's sweet, loving and smart. Has no bad habits and makes a point of not snarling at all the other dogs; only some of them.... we like to think she's being protective of her new home and family. Although we aren't really new anymore, are we?

Nine and a half months! Wow... it's been a wonderful time of getting to know her and understanding her. She's pretty easy to read, as she communicates very well. Bob is totally and unabashedly in love with her. He's been completely taken over by her charms. It seems so long ago when we first married and I wanted a dog. Bob was opposed to the idea and it took two years for him to give in. Now he lives for Baby Girl. I like to think she brings out Bob's feminine side. He frowns when I say this...... ha ha.

There's really not too much going on in our lives right now. Rox has her two morning walks, her frequent brushings and massages, and her home-cooked diet. She's lost weight since the neck injury and it's steroid weight gain.... she's back to her girlish waist. We've trimmed her hairy feets. Her winter coat is shed and she's trim and styled.

We're just hangin', as the kids would say. Summer time, and the living is easy....
