Roxy

 We had a dog named Roxy for about 5+ years.
Jim's boss at the car dealership brought her in
to work and told Jim he "had" to take her to his
parents farm... so he did.

She was a sweet little dog.
She LOVES to play fetch.
Shadow (Kyle's old dog) kept the pack in line.
Anybody messed with Roxy (the smallest)
Shadow took care of it.

But then Shadow passed.
And Bandit became the new pack leader.
And she doesn't really like Roxy.
But it wasn't a big problem...

And then Kyle got Luna.
The Rotti.
She LOVES Roxy!
She's a SQUEAKY TOY!
When you grab her, she squeaks!!!
It's SOOOO fun!!!

Poor Rox.
She would run back into the garage and get
into her crate and refuse to come out as
long as the other dogs were out.

So... we decided it might be a good idea to
try to find her a new home.
I've been trying for a long time.
(Luna just had her 1st birthday.,,.)

But this week a student from 2 classes ago reached
out and said he and his wife were interested in Roxy.
After some back and forth, we decided it would
likely be a good fit.

So yesterday when I drove over to Tampa to
teach my final class, I had an extra passenger.


I covered the seat with a blanket.
(Grandma Hanna tied this one for me... but the
dogs got into it and tore some of it, so it's theirs now...)


We put a leash on her and tied it to the seatbelt.
She was a good little passenger.
Even shared some french fries with me.

And when we got here, she got to meet Robert
and his dog Heidi.
Heidi is a puppy and VERY high energy and Rox
was a little spooked, but we put her in her
crate in the back seat so she felt safe,
and off they went.

Robert sent me some pictures when he got home.


Roxy and her new mom Jenna hit it off immediately!

And once Heidi settled down, they became
best buds.

I'm so happy it turned out so well.
