Someone has got her "spunk" going once again. Roxie is quite the little character these days. Here she is enjoying a fleece toy that was made and donated to our Fluffy Dog rescue dogs. Shaking and growling in play. You go girl!
Just need to brag...tonight Roxie had a first. She made it the entire way around the block! Such a change in just about a month. So proud of her.

Things are going well with our little Miss Roxie. She started getting more pep after finishing up with  her   antibiotics  and ditching her  congestion . She actually runs a little now. It may not be fast but she is going. She follows us around and likes to get a boost up so she can be on the couch or chair with one of us. We found she does bark infrequently too. A funny little arff, arff. We had plans twice this month and needed to kennel her while we were away. She did just fine and Lisa Brewer and the ladies that work at Tail Waggin Doggie Daycare said she was adorable. Lisa helps out our rescue dogs  at her place in Hartland, thanks Lisa. It is good to know Roxie is adaptable to change. She  likes meeting new  people and dogs. One night recently during our walk she said hi to a 2 year old boy and later an 96 year old woman. How is that for an age difference? People have said " you guys will keep this one." No we can't. I would but cannot afford to care for fou

This is how we watched the Packers beat the Bears. Quite the lazy crew. My husband and myself too. Might be hard to see Roxie as she is small and black but she is there. She enjoys her cuddle and tummy rubbing time alot. She lays there and snores. Her loud breathing and body shape makes me think she is part Pug. I googled Pug/Maltese mix and some look like her. DNA test may say for sure but I as the foster will probably not pay to have one done. I got up to take the picture. Here are Roxie and two of my dogs. Both Birdie and Patton were adopted through Fluffy Dog Rescue. I like men and women, why discriminate? A little to the right please, ah yes that is the spot. Shameless lazy dogs.

Precious little face. Roxie after a walk all tired out. Exercise is hard work people give me a break! We are at 14.4 pounds vs the 15.2 pounds she came to us at.

Well our "Chunky Monkey" is starting to feel better. Showing us she can be a "Spunky Monkey" too. She is wanting to join in with our dogs for a short walk but does tire easily yet.  I want her health perfect now but realize we need some patience. She is such a cute little gal with a sweet personality. Soft fur that does not leave a trace on my clothes, I like that. She likes to get into the car for a ride and sat up on my lap to watch out the window as my husband drove. Here are a couple pictures.

***ROXIE***                                                                9/2/2015 She is such a little sweetie. Just an easy dog to have around the house. No potties in the house, no chewing up anything, not even a single bark yet. Is she a stuffed dog or a real one?  I hate to post this as the real Roxie. She still has her doggie cold and may not be her true self yet. I think it is safe to say her picture would come up if you googled "canine couch potato".  She acts like a tester for all of our doggie beds. We have not got much change in her weight yet. Started at 15.2 and now 14.6 ten days later. At least headed in the right direction. She is learning it does not pay to beg while we eat.She is a little more active and perks up when it is walk time. She has this cute little wiggle as we head up half a block and back for now. Her hair is so soft and will need a grooming from time to time. That means low/maybe no shed so a fair trade off. Breed is always a gue
