A Fluffy Dog

So here it is Valentines Day and no one has taken Roxie home to love. Sort of makes me sad. She is not sad though because she is happy here with us waiting for that certain someone. We do not think she is only 4 years old. That was the information given when she was taken to the Alabama shelter. Between the vets that have seen her up here and her groomer, they would guess an older gal of 8 years+. So that probably explains the fact that some of her health changes are what are seen with mature dogs. The heart murmur, urinalysis shows early renal concerns, and a low thyroid. So watching her diet and getting her on thyroid medication are what is needed presently. She is the sweetest dog and as we start the thyroid medication we are planning on her getting more energy. Hope that will be a good change. We are kind of used to low-energy Roxie at this point.  

Miss Roxie takes after her foster mommy. She really does not like having her picture taken. So I have two shots of her turning away and one in the middle with such sad eyes. Such a goofy gal.

Here we go heading out for a winter walk. This was on New Years Day when it was warmer. 

NICE CHAIR BUT I LIKE TO SIT ON A COZY LAP  BETTER, HOW ABOUT YOURS?

A Christmas gift to myself. Doggie flannel sheets. Roxie is showing herself off on them. She is such a cute, soft, non-shedding fluffy dog. A relative who has had Pugs agreed with me that her body shape is Pug-like. The nose is pointy but she still does some snorty sounds like a Pug. So the fluffy part? Hmm, maybe Pomeranian? Just guessing. Whatever she is it is sweet and loyal and oh so snuggly. We do LOVE her lots over here and are so glad to be able to spend time with her as our little guest.

Things continue to go very well with Roxie at our house. Her low energy ways are going to be as perfect a fit for someone out there as they are for us. These two pictures were taken without these two sleepy heads waking up. Snooze buddies for sure!

ROXIE got to meet with Santa Claus today. She was EXCELLENT waiting for her turn and sitting on Santa's lap while at Pet Supplies Plus in Greenfield. Hope she gets what she is wishing for.
