In Honor and Loving Memory of Roxy
For you Ian Weinberg...With love and peace for your cherished companion...
A Faithful Dog Will Play With You
And Laugh With You, Or Cry.
He’ll Gladly Starve To Stay With You
Nor Ever Reason Why.
And When You’re Feeling Out Of Sorts
Somehow He’ll Understand.
He’ll Watch You With His Shining Eyes
And Try To Lick Your Hand.
His Blind, Implicit Faith In You
Is Matched By His Great Love.
The Kind That All Of Us Should Have
In The Master, Up Above.
When Everything Is Said And Done
I Guess This Isn’t Odd.
For When You Spell “Dog” Backwards
You Get The Name Of God.
-Leonard Kreicas
As a special honor in memory of your 'Roxy' I have been blessed with an opportunity to pass on her lovely name to the newest addition to my family...A beautiful Australian blue heeler with amazing blue eyes...She is a new mom and still a baby herself, having been dumped in the wild to fend for herself while pregnant.
She was picked up by an animal rescue team in Georgia and fostered throughout her pregnancy and the birth of six pups...Having them taken from her at eleven weeks, she was shipped up North to a 'no kill' shelter in Massachusetts. The same shelter I visited last week where this beautiful soul captured my heart in the blink of an eye...Those beautiful blue eyes.
So this also serves as reminder to those who adopt pets at a young age...Please, please, please have your beloved pets spayed or neutered to avoid this overpopulation unwanted babes being dumped into the wild to perish frightened and alone...

The connection between a man and his dog is truly sacred one Kim Wheeler...So beautifully reflected in your heartfelt poems. You have an animals lovers heart of gold;-) Big Foot and all of his K-9 brothers and sisters were very fortunate souls indeed!

Not having to house train a pup again is a major plus :)) I'm glad she's doing so well. They are smart dogs! She has a loving owner as her companion too!

Thanks Lisa Gallagher...She's been a real gem so far...Sleeping through the night was all I asked of her...and I could not bear the thought of potty training a pup again! She had one accident on the first day...knew immediately she wasn't to do that again;-) Very smart as she is beautiful... Those eyes are mesmerizing! Captured me with a love at first sight moment;-)

Oh yes Ken Boddie! She has already demonstrated her 'herding' abilities with our cat Ruby...However, once the claws came out Roxy decided it was best to keep her distance;-) Lol! Fur was flying in the living room that day! I agree wholeheartedly with you and Phil about the 'puppy mill' problem...These poor souls are often raised under deplorable conditions and can become quite sick. When you adopt from a reputable shelter you know these animals are very well cared for and vaccinated and or spayed/neutered when age appropriate. My girl was spayed just before I brought her home and already micro-chipped...so those were two sizable expenses I would have incurred had a I adopted a 'pup'...Best to adopt at a year or older to avoid the night wakings typical of puppies as they are potty training;-)

Thanks for that great tip for dogs with incontinence Phil Friedman...Fortunately, Roxy seems to be well trained, with the exception of one accident on her first day with us...which we expected would happen initially as she was used to living in an outdoor enclosure where she could go at will...She was fostered throughout her pregnancy so I suspect she adapted to living in an indoor environment for that time. She is very intelligent indeed...The minute she saw my daughter she knew that was her person...She zeroed right in on us with those beautiful blue eyes and we were hooked! I truly believe it is the pets that choose their owners;-) I agreed to having a dog only if we adopted a rescue. These animals know when they have been rescued and are the most loyal and grateful beings on the planet. The only difficulty we are having with her at this time is her fear anxiety...Poor girl is traumatized and terrified of the outside world. I am the only one who can attempt to walk her as she goes into panic attacks at the slightest noise or quick movements...It will take her some time to feel safe, but we're working on it;-)

Wishing you peace in your heart Ian Weinberg...My Roxy is already serving as my 'heeler' by forcing me to get moving on a very painful knee I have been reluctant to rehab...Where I prefer wrapping it in ice on plopping my fanny on the couch, she does not accept any excuses when it comes to going for her daily walks;-)
