Roxy is headed back on Monday

Roxy is headed back to Champaign County Humane Society on Monday.  She'll get her check up for her heart worm treatment, and we assume that she will be staying and be up for adoption very soon. 

It took Roxy a good two weeks to really become comfortable here, so although I know that anyone who visits her at the humane society is going to be able to pet her -- they may not get to realize her truly affectionate nature.  She leans into us now for good rubbing, and follows me around when she is out of the crate.  If I am at the desk, she is laying under it.  If I am sitting in the living room, she is laying at the front door where she can see me.  If I am workign in the kitchen, she is wandering about trying to see what I am doing.  Yet, when I tell  her "come on Roxy, time to go to bed, "  she goes straight in her crate -- with just a bit of a pout.  She has never once whined, barked or complained about her time spent in the crate.  And in fact, at times she asks to go back to it, if there are several people at home milling around. 

She does tend to like things quiet.  She met a young boy the yesterday -- maybe twoish -- and she behaved very well, turning toward him to nuzzle  a bit as he petted her  She tolerates my cats presence, and I would expect no problems if a home had some.  According the laws, we can't really let her interact with the cats, but they have seen each other.  She does get a bit nervous when all 5 of us are at home and moving around -- and asks to go back to her crate.  She has expected to be petted by every person visiting she has seen.

Just this last week, Roxy has begun to be truly eager to come back inside after being out.  She gives a little bounce coming through the door, and has to smile and greet everyone in the room.  We will truly miss her loving quiet friendship, and hope that she can find a forever home soon that fits her.
