Good girl, Roxy!

Roxy went to the shelter's vet today for a dental, bloodwork & chest x-ray. Everything is fine, especially now that she is 13, not 12. Bloodwork normal, slightly enlarged heart (nothing to worry about), and worn down teeth. Pretty good news for an old dog with a shady history of vet care. (The neighbor had her spayed in 2007 at the age of 10).

She is such a happy dog and I am so glad we have her. She still has a lot of sparkle in her so I hiope we have her for several years to come.

Atlantic City & Roxy

Sunday & Monday we spent at Atlantic City.

The ocean was beautiful, though the beach and boardwalk were covered in trash. It was sad to see.
My favorite store in the casino was Jake's Dog House. They had great prices for their location!
There we bought this new magnet for Ellie.
Roxy came home today! As you can see, she made herself right at home. She is snoring on the sofa while I type this.

The shelter was calling her an Australian Shepherd mix. I really don't see that. Her coat is like a Labrador's coat and she is the size of a Dal, with a few small black spots scattered about. So we are guessing Lab x Dal. Any other ideas?

Later I will get photos of the back of her ears. They match Luther's ears.

She goes to the shelter's vet on Thursday for a dental, bloodwork & chest x-ray. They are worried about a heart murmur. Hopefully it is nothing serious. No matter what, she has a home for her golden years.

Roxy

She comes home on Tuesday. She is a 12 year old mix, that was an owner-surrender (health issues) to an area shelter. Luther thinks she's swell! She is so sweet... she just leaned into me, melding herself, for love and attention. I have no idea what mix she is but she sure is cute.
