Flashback Friday...

The story of me, Roxy.

.
SHE has almost ALWAYS had scotties.

Had one slight break with an Irish Wolfhound and a Deerhound X.

A couple of years ago after getting tired of pulling burrs out of scottie coats,

SHE decided that HER next dog would be a short haired dog.

SHE'd always loved English Bull Terriers so began researching the breed.

SHE googled for many months to see if a Bull Terrier

would fit in with HER lifestyle, what diseases/conditions the breed might have....

and the cost of buying one.

While searching for Breeders and checking ads to find puppy mills.

SHE found this puppy.

Roo.

 Roo was advertised on an adoption list.  She was a Bull Terrier Rhodesian Ridgeback X.

SHE always looked for Roo when looking at the adoption site.

BUT then SHE saw Roo's sister.......

Roxy.

 There was something about that little face that SHE just fell in love with immediately.

SHE watched the ads for several weeks, and both Roxy and Roo were still without homes.

About the same time, two bloggers, Mayzie and Brudder Ranger were having an event encouraging bloggers to post about animals up for adoption in hopes of finding homes for some of them.

SHE sent an e-mail to Roo and Roxy's Foster Mother.....and well......I, Roxy, found a home.

SHE and Daisy travelled two hours south,

and I and my Foster Mother travelled two hours north

and met in a park.

Daisy approved of me, and SHE loved me, so we came home.

I was a bit scared at first.

 Bella kept following me around.

Then I became one of the pack....even though I looked a bit different.  (People always comment on it.)

Funny, young men LOVE me and ignore the scotties, women tend to love the scotties.

Our pack has changed over time.....I'm much bigger than Bella.  Both Kendra and Daisy are

over the Bridge and we've added Dui.  But it's still our pack.

Oh, and Roo found a home with a forever family in Sydney.
