Roxy is now visiting us

I was able to bring Roxy home yesterday -- and sweeter dog you could never find.  She is exceptionally calm and quietly friendly.  She will be a great dog with kids, or older people.  I took some pictures, but I am having some battery issues this morning and I can't get them uploaded just yet.
She looks like an old man -- my sons all agree.  The people at the Humane Society call her a Lab mix, but she is brindle colored with wiry hair and fuzzy eyebrows -- which all combines for a slightly comical look.  We love her already.
Roxy is EXCELLENT on a leash -- not even the slightest tug, which is just what the doctor ordered -- literally. 

Roxy will be coming to visit

We are looking forward to bringing Roxy home to visit next Thursday.  Roxy will be treated for heartworms, so she will be needing to stay quiet.  I am told that she is pretty calm.  Since she will only be able to go on short outings -- she and I will be able to return to good  health together.  While my eye finishes its healing process she will be a good friend to get to know.

Preparing to foster again

Well, the surgery on my eye turned out to be quite the experience -- and although it was not painful, or debilitating, the recovery was long and required a lot of quiet time.  We are now through the worst of it, though, and finally able to return to a life.  I am looking forward to being able to foster again.  A few animals have come up lately, but the ones we thought we could take have gone to other foster homes.  Which is fine, they are being cared for.

Keep checking back, we'll be having a guest soon.
