Happy 1st Birthday Roxy (June 3, 2010)

I can't believe it, my little fur baby is turning one!! Roxy was born June  3, 2009 in Ithaca, New York.

Here are a few snapshots of Roxy this past year. 

Me and Roxy, when we first got her. 

she was so teeny tiny!!

 Clearly this was a bad hair day for me and I don't care, this pic is super cute!
    
 Roxy loves crawling into our laundry baskets, especially when scared of the vacuum  Here is one of Roxy's latest pictures, from Memorial Day. Roxy came with us to the lake. She played with several dogs and attempted to swim (I will be buying her a life vest as she doesn't swim well).
Wet dog in her summer collar!

Roxy Update

It is due time to blog about Roxy, don't worry though she's not neglected by any means.

Roxy is now ten months old and is weighing in at 33lbs. I am super curious to see how big she's going to get or when she'll stop growing. Her favorite hobbies these days are sleeping, chewing things she's not suppose to, and cuddling. 

Here are some photo updates of Roxy--these are right out of the camera (nothing too fancy). Enjoy!

 

Sometimes her tongue sticks out, especially when she's sleeping.

 

This might be my favorite, I love her profile!
 

 

This past weekend my sister Ali introduced Roxy to my wind-up toys (seen below a monkey and a dog). They are NOT dog toys,  however Roxy loves them -- she isn't allowed to play with them on her own.

My Holiday Card Design

This year I really wanted to do a personal holiday card. I've been doing business-y cards for several years. Now that Roxy is around, I feel the need to have her send my holiday wishes to all!

I just took these pics today--not thinking that I was even going to take portraits of the pup. I went outside to take pics of the house (I've moved in 2009), and Roxy was being such a good girl that I was able to get her sitting still in front of the tree .

Front of card: 

This shall be the inside spread...I wasn't going to do a pic in the background because I know it's a bit overboard. However, that's me with this dog, overboard. LOVE HER!!

 

This would be the back, but on my version I've put our new address and phone number--since some people might not have it.

 Happy Holidays!!

 

Happy Half Birthday Roxy!!!

Our little angel Roxy was born six months ago today, and she's growing up fast.

I haven't blogged about her in a while, but this doesn't mean that I haven't taken any pics! My iPhone has Roxy all over it. For Halloween, Roxy was a princess. I found the costume last minute at Old Navy, I was not looking for a dog costume. John hates the costume, I liked it, and the trick or treaters loved it---I think even more so than the candy. Check out the pics below, not my best work, but not bad for trying to get the dog's attention and hold a camera at the same time. Enjoy!       

This is not in focus and I don't even care, I just love the pic. I'm not sure why the door is open.   

Roxy My Animal

Roxy is getting so big, at her last check-up she as a whopping 16LBS (we got her at 11LBs and she will get to be around 50-60 pounds). She's not a baby anymore, she's starting to look like a real animal and not a stuffed one. If you didn't see her star debut, check out August 4th's Daily Puppy.

I am working on her training, it's a slow process. I signed Roxy up for Puppy Kindergarden here in Bristol at Camp Canine, I think I need the training more than she does. The first class was last week, without dog. Roxy gets to go to tomorrow's class and meet Lola ( my friend Jenn's puppy). 

Here are a few recent pics that I grabbed of Roxy, I love this animal!! Enjoy!

Cutest Dog Competition

I couldn't help myself from entering Roxy into this competition. I might be biased as she is my really stinkin' cute dog, but look at her!!! I just love her to pieces.

My Puppy is a Star: Roxy is August 4th's Daily Puppy

I am sooooooo excited to announce that tomorrow, August 4th, Roxy is going to be the featured Daily Puppy. I have been a huge fan of the site for years (it always makes me smile), and now to have my puppy on there is a thrill! I'm a proud dog owner, what can I say?!

Here are some more (yes, more) pictures of Roxy. Enjoy!

Roxy the Pup (Olde English Bulldogge)

This past Tuesday, John and I took a trip up to Ithaca, New York to pick up our new family member, Roxy. Roxy is an Olde English Bulldogge puppy, born on June 3, 2009. I originally thought that I'd name her Daisy Mae Meatball, however Roxy seemed more appropriate (credit to John for the name).

Roxy is a doll, I just looove her to pieces. Not only is her Patch over her eye super cute, her eyelashes are adorable as well. Roxy has a set of white eyelashes and a set of black. She loves playing outside, especially in the tall decorative grasses (see picture below), being around people, and napping. She dislikes the vacuum cleaner and taking baths. Right now, she's napping on my lap as I type (I might need a bigger chair for my office when she gets bigger). 

Here are a few images of our Roxy. Enjoy!!

Roscoe: The Olde English Bulldogge

Recently John and I had the opportunity to watch a wonderful dog for ten days. The dog's name is Roscoe, and he's a fantastic Olde English Bulldogge. His priorities include relaxing, chewing, and being around people--ahh the life of a dog. Roscoe went to the driving range with John and I, John hit golf balls while Roscoe and I watched. He also was a hit at our 4th of July party, making lots of new friends.

Here are a few pics of the dog from John and my 4th party. Enjoy!!

     As a side note, this is Eme with Tony. Eme is my Godchild and Tony is John's best friend. Eme just LOVED Tony (as you can see). This is the first time she met him too!! 

John and I had such a great time watching this dog, that we decided to get our own!! We think we're going to get a girl (and name her Daisy). We picked her out, but we haven't met yet (so if we meet one that likes us better we'll go with another dog). If it's a boy, the dog's name will be Bubba.

Here are a few pics of Daisy (taken by the breeder).
