Roxy in her new home
My friends puppy passed away today. In actuality, Roxy was not a puppy, but she had the heart of one.
While it wasn’t a sudden thing, it is hard all the same.
My friend was traveling west years ago, and saw a dog walking along on the side of a highway. She was in no position to stop for the dog at the time, but some how this dog left an impression on her. Later on, my friend got to where she was going and all moved in. She decided to go to the animal shelter.
To her suprise, there was the dog that she had passed on the highway. It was some kind of sign. She took Roxy home with her.
She spent years traveling around with Roxy. The dog was nearly as big as it’s owner. And yet, was the most loving sweet dog around. Trusted around even babies.
I’m not one for large dogs, but Roxy was an exception.
Her owner was there for the last gasp of life this morning. She didn’t want her to die alone, and this was probably the only sense of relief in this time of grief.
You will be missed Roxy. You were a good dog.
