A daily dose of Beth

People think we do nothing but rescue dogs around here.   Above, I am climbing the apple tree looking for a ripe apple.    They are still a little green, but they are good.   Not enough are falling on the ground so I have to take matters into my own paws and shake the tree, and climb it from time to time to get my afternoon snack.   In the background is Roxie, taking lessons.

We will try and have a little update on Beth each day.   Beth is feeling much better today.    She ate her breakfast, lunch and dinner with enthusiasm.   The rest of us are not too happy that she is the only one that gets three meals a day, but I suppose she needs them.   She is so thin and so weak, we will let her eat her noon meal in peace.   She is getting all kinds of supplements to help her get stronger.  She is walking better and she is feeling a little more like exploring, she checked out the whole back yard today.   She is funny, when she first arrived she was carried in and outside to go potty, she was carried up and down the stairs, and she was carried around just so she could be in the middle of the action.  She has decided that being carried is a pretty good deal.   She waits now to see if she is going to get a ride before she walks out the open door.   She learns fast.   We will try and keep you informed about Beth's progress.

Below are two photos of Roxie.   One photo of Roxie dry, and one photo of Roxie wet.   We had the kids over to swim on Tuesday, and Roxie jumped right in to joint them.   She had a fine time swimming with the children.    She misses the children from her old home, so she played with our visitors and entertained them well. 

So say hellow to Roxie, she is a great lady with a great story as well.   It is just that Beth is an emergency, so we have tended to focus on Beth.   Roxie is worthy of her own story.
