Meet Roxxie....

We went and picked up this new little addition to our family yesterday. Yep, we finally caved! Of course, the kids have always wanted a puppy, but Steve and I kept putting it off because our last experience with a dog didn't go so well. After seeing Clay and Mari Ellyn's Sheltie last weekend, we were reminded what a great dog she is, and both of my uncles used to have Shelties that were excellent dogs also. So I started researching breeders online, and when I found one that had puppies available, we decided to take the plunge!

Roxxie is 8 weeks old, and she is the sweetest little thing! We have only had her for one day, but I can just tell she is going to be a wonderful companion.



Jacob is not used to being around dogs, so he was scared at first, but I knew it wouldn't take long at all for him to fall in love with her too...


The kids can't get enough of her right now. Abby and Noah thought this doll chair was just her size...

Isn't she the cutest little fuzzball you've ever seen!?


She slept the whole night last night, without any whimpering or fussing. I was amazed! She's had a couple accidents (which I fully expected), so I am especially glad that we have wood laminate floors on our main level.
Well, I just had to share our excitement with you all! That's it for now.....
Have a great week,
Deb
