Roxie |
Breed: Boxer Mix | Gender: Female |
Favorite Place to Sleep: They both have the mistaken idea that the the big bed in the master bedroom
is for them and aren't quite sure why I make them move when it is time for
me to turn in. After all, they believe they are just as human as I am
except they have four legs and no thumbs. |
Story: These two are quite a pair. You would think they were Mom and pup, as
opposed to adopted two years apart. Roxie accepted Lily the instant I brought
her home, not one disagreement of any kind. I just recently bought and moved into a new house. Finally, last weekend I
managed to get the dog door installed in the back door. Roxie has had one
all of her two years, so she remembered right off how to go in and out.
Lily, however, only had used one for about two weeks before we moved and she
was only 10 weeks old, so she didn't remember how to use it. Well, after
four days of "Big Sister" Roxie going half way out the door so that Lily
could climb through the door under Roxie's belly and between her front legs
to go in or out, she too can use the door on her own now. It was absolutely
amazing to watch! :) |
Lily |
Breed: Dachshund | Variety: Miniature |
Gender: Female | |
Favorite Activities: The two of them get going on what I call "a tear" and they chase each other
around in circles until Lily darts into a space too small for Roxie to fit
into. When Lily thinks its all clear, she darts out and runs as fast as she
can to the next small place to sneak into. They are more entertaining than
most people I know. I sit out on the back porch and just watch them chase
each other until they have worn each other out. |
I thank the Lord for being able to have them. They are both great dogs and
they help keep me in reality when things start getting a little nuts. |
