Roxie

Well Roxie has made herself at home.  She fits right in.  She is Honey's baby.  They play all the time and Honey actually gets tired of her sometimes.  I will hear growling and snarling and it is Roxie playing with Honey.  She has already marked her place in my bed.  She and Jock sleep on the bed with me.  Honey will not because the bed is high and it scares her.  However, she has no problem sleeping on my antique setee.  Thank goodness the upholstery is cotton velvet.  The cats cannot get their claws hooked in it so they leave it alone. 

This morning was a lovely morning, not to cold, so I spent the morning out in the yard doing some clean up, building a brush pile for the birds for winter, raking leaves and putting them in the vegetable beds, trimming roses.  It was nice.  And jock and Roxie stayed out with me.  They had a really good time exploring the yard, looking for skinks to tease.  Honey, on the other hand, was ready for inside after about an hour.  So I let her in and kept working.  My kiddos have a beautiful yard just for them.  I have no flower beds in their huge yard.  I just have grass and shrubs that they can hide in and play in.  I designed it just for them. 

Roxie is really healthy.  She does have congenital dry eye and I have to use meds on that and will always have to, but that is all the problems she has.  I feel really lucky that all three of them found me.  As soon as I learn to use Linux, I will post pictures of Roxie. 

I have been remiss

I have been remiss on posting.  We have a new puppy at our house.  A neighbor showed up around a month ago on a Sunday morning.  She rang my doorbell, she had a small poodle puppy on a leash and the puppy was covered with fleas.  Puppy is white.  So I took her.  I dropped her in the tub and washed her with Dawn, then wiped her down with Adams flea spray.  She has been to the vet, gotten her shots, and been spayed.  And she is Honey's karma.  Everything that Honey does to Baby to hurt him, Roxie does to Honey.She is a sweetie.  She is around 7 pounds, and totally white.  She is a sweetie.  Didn't even have to offer her my bed.  She just made herself at home.
