Roxy B's Puppy Tales...

AAArrRRR Matie- Miss Roxy the Pirate won the Halloween contest

So MOM waits for me to fall deep into sleep scoops me up and puts this most hideous Halloween costume on me eye-patch and all I thought it was all a bad dream until I am blinded by the flash of the camera - then reality sets in she really has me dressed in a pirate costume: hat, and eyepatch beside Mr Jack -O-Lantern. She uses this picture to enter me into my doggie daycare costume contest I am hoping none of my friends there see this ridiculous picture although they probably have one posted too which is just as bad or maybe even worse. Mom prommised me that if I posed nicely I could have 100% access to do whatever I wanted with the costume which was a very nice trade off so I chose to shred it into millions of tiny fabric pieces once the photo shoot was done, I will not be a repeat pirate girl for another occasion unless she chooses to buy another costume! Well LUKCY me my name is posted on Nov 1st at the daycare as the first place winner of the costume contest - yes yes Congratualtions Roxy Blakely - no puppy rewards that I know of only rewards for mommy I will get free daycare visits- mommy went way overboard with OH I am so proud of you yet again not that I had a lot of choice - so I soaked up all the blessings and happily got in my crate to sleep on the ride home from daycare.

A furless brother or sister- no thank you

Mom and dad decided against a furred brother or sister for me because I did not tolerate it well when I spent time with my cousin Jax, they decided I would be the only fur child and be spoiled- however now I hear there will be a furless child arriving prior to Christmas I am not sure I like this idea- also not sure what choice I have in the matter either. Anyway maybe he is going to be a big baby because mommy has a big bulging belly! Will keep you posted on how this affects my world!

Chronicles of my first real vacation...

I accompanied mom and dad on my first "real" out of town vacation for a whole week. The ride was long and it sure was hot outside, mom insisted on taking me out in strange, grassy areas to try to pee-pee, however most of the time it was convenience stores or truck stop type areas being the respectable lady I generally chose not to use the bathroom as the center attraction in these hideous locations that she chose. Once we arrived I could smell the sallty air of the beach and cool sand I was more comfortable in choosing my places to relieve myself. So we stayed in paw-paw's camper mom brought everything I needed food, snacks, toys, bedding (no use in that I plan to sleep with her- anyway), bones and more bones and cow hooves my smelly favorite! The biggest joy of my trip was when daddy rolled up on the golf cart, I called shotgun and rode there my tongue and hair blowing in the breeze as we drive along. There were so many dogs to meet old, young, friendly noisey ones. I got into the routine usually sleeping with mama, staying behind as she went off to the beach in the mornings patiently awaiting her return around noon having lunch wondering why she now looked red as a lobster- anyway then the awesome afternoon naps, every afternoon we snuggled in and slept for at least an hour without a care in the world. One morning daddy surprised me and came back to fetch me and take me down to the mysterious beach itself to see mama- when some little girl yelled out look its a raccoon dog, raccoon dog- yes I thought and look its a little girl, little girl so maybe I do look like a precious raccoon! I was not all that enthused about being on the beach we stayed for a minute then split on the golf cart and back to the camper. I was on my best behavior until about the last day and then I became a little restless with the whole scene and was ready to go home to freedom and running in the backyard with no leash! Maybe I will be ready for another vacation real soon!!
