Good Roxie

Roxie is officially over her food aggression. She has come a long way in a short time. Now all we need to work on is walking on a lead and sit. I worked with her today a little on sit. She is coming along. I figure she will have it down by tomorrow. The picture is of her and her two foster brothers and one tiny foster sister. It's funny how the girls are white and brown and the boys are white and black.

Learning New Things

Roxie is awesome in her kennel. She only whines when she has to go potty and she barks at knocks on the doors. She is so good in her kennel it makes me think she was an inside dog before, but then she does things my dogs would not dare. This evening she got on my dinning table and took the package of tortillas down. I forget that she is not use to being indoors. I am so use to my dogs and know they know not to do those things.

Every time we get a new foster I have to remind myself as well as the new pup. I have to remember and remind my hubby that the fosters don't know better. They are being given a second chance at a good life. Roxie knows when she is in trouble and cowers as if she thinks we are going to beat her. Poor baby. It makes me think that maybe the person or persons that had her before did. She is a good girl and a quick learner. She still has the mentality of a pup and she is eager to please.

Speaking of her being a pup. She is constantly begging my other dogs to play with her. She hardly ever sits still. I have three dogs and she will play with all of them till they give up on her. Lol. She starts of with BamBam because he is the biggest and loves to run with her. She loves to play chase with him. Then she will move down to Michael Jackson but he does not like to run so he stands under her and they nip at each other for a little bit till he lets her know he has had enough. Then if she is really desperate to play then she will play with Zombie. Zombie is only 4lbs and stands about 4" tall so she is supper tiny and has the attitude of a tiny dog. Zombie normally will play for a couple minutes and then will let Rox know she is done lol. Roxie will then go back to BamBam and see if he is done resting. It's funny to watch them play.

Roxie is full of energy and loves to be outside. I wish my fence was not messed up or I would leave her out there after my lunch brake. I am lucky enough to work so close. I have a 5min walk from my house to my job and I use my lunch to sit out side with the pups.

Well it is late and I am going to bed. I hope you enjoy the pictures of the dogs playing outside.

At the Park

Roxie has been so good. She likes to play with stuffed animals and tear the squeaker out of them. She likes to STAND not sit in anybody's lap. She is very funny.

We are currently at the park down the street from my house. I am not sure if this is the first time for her walking on a leash but she sure acts like it. The poor thing pulls till she can't breath. I am going to have to look into getting her a harness or at least a thicker collar.

It's so hard to get a decent picture of her. She is so much like a puppy. Good thing my iPhone has a decent camera. She is such a pretty girl and very sweet. Well I have to tend to my human kids now.
