Roxy's 4!

Today is our little Roxy's birthday! Since I don't have kids, I'm going to brag about my dog, kinda silly-but go with it. Growing up, we always had a cat so when Benton told me he was going to get me a dog, I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of a dog. When I thought of dogs I thought of shedding, chewed up furniture, slobber, and fortunately Roxy doesn't do any of those things, just the dog for me. I had gotten surgery on my foot and was off of work for 2 weeks, so Benton decided it was the perfect time to get me a dog. He picked out a liter of dogs on KSL for us to go look at. When I held Roxy I knew she was the perfect dog for me. She cuddled right up to my neck, she was only 1.5 lbs. She still tries to lay up by my neck all the time, but now she's 5.5 lbs, so it's quite different, she must think she's littler than she is.

Here is a photo of what she loves to do, it's kinda weird. Every night before we go to bed she tries to jump on our bathroom counter because she loves to drink out of our sink. It's her nightly ritual, she doesn't do it with any other sink but this one. Maybe it's because of how the water comes out of the faucet? Who knows, but I think it's pretty funny.


Roxy is one of a kind, our house would be so different without her. She makes me laugh all the time, she's just so silly. As you can tell she's filled my need for kids, because she really is like my child. I talk to her all the time and wonder if I'm going crazy, because I'll have full out conversations with her (obviously I'm the only one talking). Anyhow, Happy Birthday Roxy, we love you!

You are so cute I love that you talk to her...she is just part of the family! She really is darling, if I could guarantee a dog that didn't cause me any trouble like that I would totally go for it.

Dogs-kids-family...it's all the same! We love them and that's what matters most!
You should have called me on Sunday, you were right next to my house. I probably watched you golf!
