Six years ago, when we first bought our house, we moved in with quite a handful. We didn't have any kids yet but we had 3 very hyper dogs, no sod in the backyard, and white carpets. Well the carpets lasted maybe a month. And Peekah (our white boxer) was only around a short while too. Shelby (our insane border collie) fought with Peekah nonstop. I mean like, go for the kill type of fighting and it became too much to handle. So we kept Roxy (our other boxer) and Shelby..aka - Cujo. Shelby has always been a very mean and aggressive dog and Matthew and I did what we could to put up with her. She bit both of us in the past but we continued to try and train her; certain that one day she'd become a good dog again. Well, I got pregnant with Skylar and Shelby attacked me and that was it - she had to go. Now we only had one - our sweet Roxy who wasn't even supposed to be our dog. We were just dog sitting for some friends of ours and then they fell off the map. Disappeared and never came back to get her. Their loss.
She has always been a very loving and sweet girl. Albeit hyper but so sweet. And with each baby, she really does treat them as her own. Skylar is her favorite and we know it's because Skylar gives her the most attention. They are best buddies. Skylar plays with her all day and then they even share the same bed at night. It's a very sweet relationship they have and Matthew and I fret the day that Roxy is no longer with us. She really has become such a huge part of our little family and we love her very much.
I look at this pic and my heart hurts. I see how much older she is and I know we only have a few more years, if that. But for now we are enjoying every minute of our sweet Rox!
