Arrival Story:
My husband wanted a dog in the worst way so off to the pound (after three years of talking about it) All the dogs were barking and the noise too much! I went outside to see the back of the cages and there was Roxie sleeping in the sun on her back - got to love that she is a sun worshipper! She came with a whole list of problems which included mange, a bad back leg, a nip in the ear from a cage mate yet in spite of all her physical ailments, she still had the capacity to love humans! (even after her first owner abused her, and tied her in a garage). When she finally escaped and went on the lam until she was starving and picked up by animal control said previous owner gave up the rights to a remarkable dog. We are so lucky to have her in our family - even if she sleeps sideways in our bed!

Bio:
Roxie has been "home" for a year now and she has blossomed into the most beautiful, sweet and affectionate dog. Her leg has almost completly recovered, she no longer fears belts , brooms or sticks, but we still have not been able to get her near a garage. Everybody in the neighborhood knows Roxie and she is charming even the most stoic critic of pit/staffie terriers. Her fan club grows with every new person she meets!

Oh Dogswhat a nightmare! My big Dewey got the boot from the landlord. Seems my $500.00 deposit was not enough so we took Dewey on a 2000 mile ride to Grammys house until those Humans can buy a house! Yikes it seems like forever he has been gone, I am very very depressed. Its been a month and Ireally dont play too much and just lay around most of the time. The humans are very sad as well, but Grammy has been sending us letters and pictures. Im a little jealous as DEWEY GOT TO GO TO GRAMMY CAMP. Theres treats and snow...well ok maybe I would not be so happy but man is he gettingspoiled... We finally became big friends and then he had to leave. I hope he comes home soon!

Boy having a live in party pal is pretty cool! OK I still dont like it when he gets all the attention, but he sure smells better. That Dewey! Everyday he gets a little faster and a little less fatter! I let him win sometimes with the bone but mostly I get caught trying to trample his head trying to sneak his rawhide... as soon as I get it,, he gets mine! WHAT??? Oh my princess status has been slipping.

on better news its been two years since I came home, can anybody let out a BIG sigh... I wag my tail all the time and life is very very good!

ps the mange is undercontrol that holistic stuff worked where the expensive vet poision was completely ineffective!
