Meet ROXIE

Hard to believe but we got a new "family" member. Jim just couldn't stand it. I found a litter on the internet and Jim said "I want that black one." So that was it. We went and got it. I didn't have much say in the matter. Just because I was looking at pictures didn't really mean I was ready for another dog. I just like dogs...

My gosh, isn't she cute? She is the tiniest thing I have ever seen. She isn't going to get very big. Her mom and dad were both very, very small schnauzers, the smallest I have ever seen before. Had to take a few pictures to share. It sure is hard to get a good picture of a puppy, though. I'm not fast enough. But you'll get the idea.

She is too short to reach into the bowl to eat, so she puts her front paws on the edge of the dish and gets after it. This picture looks kind of funny though. haha

Hope you all get to meet her soon. and I hope she is smart and potty trains real fast. So far we have done great. No accidents.

We settled on the name Roxie. Jim wanted "Onie" and I wanted "Ebony." We couldn't agree on either one of those so we came up with Roxie. I think it fits her to a T!

That name just fits her! She looks just like a "Roxie"! Glad you got a name you both agreed upon! Fun Saturday again!!!!

She is too cute!!! you are so funny, just looking at pictures because i like dogs . . . yeah right! I know what was going on. When we lose our little beasties, it is just like our homes died too. I hated it when I don't have little dogs dancing all around me when I come home.

I am glad that you found such a cute little girl and that she already has you "around her pinkie"! Enjoy!!

She is so adorable! I love her name and how tiny she is. I am glad you have a new little gal!

RaLee will love the name because that's what she named her horse. In fact Roxie is in the desert and going to have a baby. She was trying to convince "Daddy" to bring her to the house so she can watch her and maybe get to see the baby born.
That little dog is ADORABLE! I love Schnauzer's. My aunt Judy raised them for years and years.
I hope she potty trains quickly for you.

I am taking the blame for this dog, but let me think. We took Mitzi to holbrook Tuesday night. I left early Wednesday for San Diego and returned around 1 am Sat. Tamra had me up by 8 looking at one picture on the web. Go figure! Thanks Sharon, for "getting it"! Jim

Sorry to hear about Mitzi. Roxie is adorable. In that first picture she looks so tiny and innocent yet there is a fierce side to her too.
