So far since Edwin and I got married, we have had three different animals. The first one, a sweet dog named Sadie, although a hand-me-down from his last marriage and a pee-er so she left... shortly after we got our rabbit Zeus. Then we got a german shepherd/lab mix puppy. Edwin can't go without a dog for very long. Shortly after getting our puppy, Roxy, Zeus had an accident, we don't know what, and hurt his foot. The poor baby wasn't using it at all. So, to not have to kill the poor guy or pay to get him fixed, we let him go in the forest down the road. :( This is a sore topic for me. So now we are left with our little puppy Roxy! Who is actually quite a hoot! She is now my adopted baby until I get a real one. I wonder when I will be able to graduate from puppy to baby. Maybe it's good it hasn't happened yet since I'm in school and the dog distracts me enough. I do actually spend most days studying and writing papers all day before class. The house has gone to pot and dinner rarely gets made... which will end this break until school starts again. Poor Edwin. But back to my Roxy. She gets really excited sometimes when she comes in from the backyard and if you go to pet her too soon before she calms down she piddles just a little bit before she realizes what she is doing and then will cower away with her tail tucked between her legs. Yes, she has caught the back hand of Edwin a couple times for peeing in the house. Of which took her days to not be scared around him. Poor baby. She has grown to love me as I have her. She really is my baby, although I will not be a dog owner who lets my dog do whatever she wants without punishment, especially when it involves people coming into my home. I learned this lesson when I had a roommate with a horrid little yorkshire terrier. My baby follows me around all day and always yearns for a pet from my extremely cold hand, as my hands and feet always are in the winter. When I pet her she looks up at me with loving eyes as if to say I love you mommy. She loves attention which makes having company over very enjoyable especially when kids are part of the company.
One of Roxy's favorite places to sleep, as long as I'm on the computer right next to her.
She loves touching me even if it means sleeping on my feet.
Isn't she cute!!! She a bit bigger than this now.
