New Addition

Meet Roxie! Her owners moved and couldn't keep her anymore...she is only about 17 months old and is a Chocolate Lab. She still has a lot of her puppy energy and lilkes to run and run and run - really fast. She is going to be a lot of fun for us since she loves to go hiking and also loves the water. Mel is getting used to her, since she never had a dog before, but she likes here a lot. She is pretty small for a lab though, she is only about 50 pounds, kind of built like a wimaraner. We think she is going to be a great dog and a lot of fun to take out and about around the area.
She had a sister, a yellow lab, who was also taken to a new home, so they miss eachother a little bit. Roxie was given to us for free too, they were going to try to sell her, but they just wanted to find her a good home. I think she will like her new home and family. Her first adventure will be this weekend - I am taking her hiking with a friend all day saturday, I think she'll do fine; she is very strong and likes to pull you when she's on a leash so I think we'll be investing in one of those trainer collars to keep her from doing that. We'll keep you updated on what other new things are going on in our family. We'll talk with you soon.

Mel, In the picture of you and the new livestock, your smile looks a little forced. We recommend that you go out and get a little fluffy dog and post a pic of Joe and Fluffy on your site.
