Done Camping and Ready to Rest!

One of the things over the past few weeks we've found is Roxie is tolerant of small dogs and children so far. Our neighbor has two very small and dogs that we see regularly and Roxie hasn't been interested in them whatsoever. Now, if you're taking a walk and see squirrels and birds along your path? Watch out!

And our experience with Roxie testing with children? She's allowed petting on the head and the back- I guess she just enjoys getting attention and love from anyone, regardless of their size.

Roxie (shown in the forefront of this pic) had a great time camping this weekend! She was so fascinated and curious when we hiked thru the woods, yet when it's time to chill out near the fire she lays next to the chair, never leaving your side. She even slept thru the night in the tent, which we were thankful for!

Another Great Week!

This past week Roxie has had some great gains. Check it out!

We've been leaving the crate downstairs in the common area and she's sleeping throughout the night on the floor in a regular dog bed - sans crate! It's a beautiful thing not to lug it up and down the stairs every AM/PM!! Also, if we're going to run out and we want her in her crate, we take out a treat, walk up to the open crate, say "Roxie Crate!" in a very excited tone and she'll now run right inside. Give her a treat after you close the door and she can't be happier. She's a doll!

Another new update is she's starting to learn how to sit and to stay. She can stay pretty well so far, sitting is a bit harder. We have no doubt that she'll get it, given a bit of practice! She's such a good girl!
