RIP Roxy

On Wednesday our favorite dog was hit and killed by a truck. We didn't tell the kids, we told them she ran away. We decided that they will have enough heartache in their life and they didn't need to hear it, especially because Kadence has a hard time with death. She has mini meltdowns where she is afraid everyone is going to die. So we aren't going to tell them until they are older. Rory didn't want me to post about Roxy, but I said life is good and bad and we should remember it all. Roxy was such a funny dog. She would tilt her head sideways and snap at your fingers to get you to pet her. She always wanted to play fetch, but never quite got the concept. She loved people, especially kids and would let the kids maul her. We will miss her!


(This summer we set a live trap by the river to catch a skunk. We put food in it and Roxy went in there to get it and got stuck. This is one of my favorite pictures of her, she was waiting so patiently for us to let her out.)

It broke my heart to hear she was hit. She really was such a sweet dog. I loved how her head would go pretty much upside down when she wanted you to pet her. I will miss her and I'm sure so will Maddie and especially Chloe. They seemed to get along the best. Now Chloe will end up in "dog jail" all alone! LOL I love the picture of her. :) I can't believe she fit in that trap. I have 4 puppies at my house waiting for you when your ready! :)
