Meet Roxy the Rottweiler!

Meet the newest edition to our family! May was a really tough month on the Fullmer/Proctor families. On Tuesday, May 6 I received a phone call from my mother indicating that my grandfather had passed away. It was a bitter/sweet time for our family. Pa was 84 years old and had lived a very long and prosperous life. God is in control of everything and decided to call Pa home. It was time. However, I woke up Wednesday morning only to find my dog Mia had also died! She was only 2! I didn't think it was her time and that was a little harder on our family and me in particular! Kenidee was my rock! Being so young and innocent, the easiest way for me to describe everything to her was to tell her that Pa needed Mia in Heaven. If you ask Kenidee, God called Pa home to give him a new body. In the 2 short years that Kenidee knew Pa, he didn't walk very well and hardly moved from his chair. Now he can run, jump and play and Mia is with him keeping him company! Kenidee's explanation of everything helped me to get through both losses! Out of the mouths of babes!

Well, all this leads up to our newest addition! Meet Roxy! The kids love her and believe it or not, Heath has actually let her in the house! Yes, in the house! Not on the carpets, mind you but in the house none the less. We'll see how long that lasts!


Kenidee loves Roxy! We can't get her to put Roxy down sometimes!


Roxy can't wait until she is too big for Kenidee to carry! Hang in there Roxy! Just a few more weeks!


It's a good thing Braden really doesn't care to hold her!


This was the only place the kids could get away from Roxy. Just like any puppy, Roxy loves to chase and bite the kids! The louder they are the more she chases them!


More puppy play!


The kids tried to climb the stairs to get away from her but she followed them. The problem? Roxy had a hard time getting back down the stairs! It was cute!


She seems so little! To bad she's going to grow up BIG!


Her teeth really do hurt!

What's going to happen when she gets bigger!?! Will Heath let her in the house?!?!??

What a beautiful addition! It looks like a lot of fun. We have a puppy that is 7 months old and I like to think that we are almost out of that puppy stage but there are days:-) Hope your summer is going well! I love seeing what your family is up to.

Very cute! We have a Roxie, too. I guess they will meet each other at the family reunion. Scary for Roxie. Roxy will probably eat her up!!
