Roxy

Please know how remarkable you are and how grateful I am. I think of you often as I continue to think about my Roxy. I have been humbled by the lessons I learned that day. I thought I was stronger. I thought I knew what it was like to lose a pet. I knew nothing. I will never again judge people for their life and death choices, as you did not judge me. Dr Forslund, you will forever be in my heart. I thank you for caring Roxy Girl and for treating her with the love and respect she deserved. The grieving process has taught me many important lessons. The most important being how one kind and compassionate human can affect your life. 

Little Roxy was 1 pound when we brought her home. We thought she was calm...ends up she was sick. We nursed the little thing back to health and soon she was the BOSS! She spent her days chasing lizards and caring for her "piggy". Monkey was her second choice.  She loved sitting in the basket of my bike and going for rides, she brought smiles to all. Roxy enjoyed boating and had her own life jacket. She never really liked other dogs cuz secretly she was human:) 

Our baby became ill very suddenly. We tried to save her but when we picked her up from the ER she gave us a look....the look that says "please stop". We did our best to care for her until it was evident that she was just hanging on for her people. I had never lost a pet before and was not prepared on any level to lose our 4 pound friend.

Roxy always looked like she was a puppy. She had the most beautiful face I had ever seen. I did not realize that Roxy controlled almost every aspect of my life.....she knew how to get what she wanted. She was quite talkative and demanded to be the center of attention. After a bath she would prance around. She knew she was special. I miss her beautiful face. We miss you little Roxy. We still feel you and hear you. Daddy dreams about you. You brought so much joy and love to our family. We will never forget you.

I LOVE YOU ROXY GIRL.

Much love to you and your family,
