Roxie
Roxie stole my heart when she was born December 8, 2004 at 4am. She was
the fourth puppy and Sissy ripped the cord right off her belly. The little
thing bled like crazy and she was having difficulty breathing. I sat with
her on a heating pad for 4 hours holding my finger on her belly and trying to help her.
Needless to say, we bonded right away. What ever I did, it
worked because she has grown into a beautiful little lady. She was meant
to be here and little did we know just how special this little lady would be in
our lives. On April 4, 2006, our matriarch, Reggie died eight days after
giving birth, leaving me with 5 baby girls to raise. Although I hand fed
the girls, Roxie took over as their mama. A little over a week had passed
when we were sent a miracle, Roxie got milk. When Love, one of the girls
had her first litter January 2, 2007, Roxie decided she needed some help and
proceeded to settle in to help feed the little ones. Of course, I had to
pull her out but she was more than ready and willing to help out again.
She is such a little mama, she still cleans the girls as if they were her little
babies.

Roxie Mama.........only one of these puppies belongs
to Roxie
Roxie got milk sent from heaven and nursed Reggie's girls
after her grandmother passed over Rainbow Bridge..
Sissy and her daughter Roxie help to raise Reggie's girls.
Roxie has that look: "When I offered to help out I didn't know they would still
be hanging around so long. When are these girls going to grow up?"
She's such a little sweetheart!

Roxie is such a sweetheart and attached to my hip.
Roxie became the substitute mama for Reggie's girls in April
of 2006. She still tries to mother them..........

Roxie's job as sub-mama seems to be never ending. I was
sitting on the sofa and could hear this noise, I looked over and there was Star
sucking away. It was really funny when she lifted her head. She
looked like she had just got caught in the candy dish.
