Roxy makes a friend
Roxy
trotted off to see her friends the vets earlier this week for a check-up. She always likes visiting
them because they’re so nice to her and she usually (actually always!) receives
a treat or two . . . or three.
She was checked over thoroughly and pronounced fit and in good condition. Her teeth were particularly remarked upon and they certainly are nice and white and clean. The daily carrots and chews are doing their job, obviously.
Roxy is very friendly and likes meeting new dogs, so she was very pleased to see a dog behind the Reception desk. Rosie is a Labrador/Rottweiler cross and she was just as happy to make Roxy’s acquaintance.
Gilbert was rather perturbed that Roxy went out with Barry and he had to stay at home with me, so he was very pleased to see them when they returned. He sniffed Roxy all over, to learn where she’d been and what she’d been up to.
Today, Friday, they both stayed at home with me while Barry went out to meet some friends for lunch. They were delighted when he came home, Gilbert presenting him with his latest toy – Gilbert’s toy, that is, not Barry’s.
Uy que bien por Roxy. Me enamore de tus perritos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias :-)
DeleteHow nice for Roxy to make a new friend. i don't have a dog, but I do have a dog toy, it's a rubber "Yoda" (from Star Wars movies) and makes a fart sound when squeezed.
ReplyDeleteI can't resist playing with noisy toys.
DeleteHow wonderful that Roxy is so social & loves other dogs. That is great!! I love the photo of Gilbert waiting for her to return again - toy at the ready. xx
ReplyDeleteRoxy and Gilbert are very close and play together a lot.
DeleteThis is very cute: Gilbert was rather perturbed that Roxy went out with Barry and he had to stay at home, so he was very pleased to see them on return. He sniffed Roxy all over, to learn where she’d been.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of dogs socialising together, showing warmth to each other, excitement and perhaps some concern.
As far as we know, they have no understanding that a friend's absence will not be forever. Who knows what we will learn of them in the future.
DeleteNice to see Roxy and the new friend :-)
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice for them to play together.
DeleteWell done Roxy for being such a Good Dog at the vets, and keeping hose teeth pearly white. Nobby too loves going any place where he might meet other pups. He also loves a squeaky toy!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail.
I'm glad she's never reluctant to visit the vet - some of our dogs have been.
DeleteIt's always cheering to see Gilbert and Roxy. Rosie looks to be a good-natured new friend. I like the new "background" for your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephanie. I have been 'messing about!'
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteShe is a sweet-natured dog.
ReplyDeletePink background to match Gilbert's pink piglet 😍
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely photos. Our young westie howls when Lab Jas goes anywhere without him, it's rather pitiful but fortunately he can usually be distracted by a game of ball!

Separation anxiety of a different order. I hope Jas is kind to him:-)
DeleteOh yes, they are best pals and she puts up with a lot from him 😉😀 X

It's much easier to gift someone else's toy, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteHe's very generous with his toys, usually at inconvenient times!
DeleteGreat news for Roxy's teeth. And Gilbert, I am sure you were glad when your sister got home.
ReplyDeleteHe was very pleased to see her again.
DeleteI'm glad to read that Roxy was pronounced fit and healthy, and that she made friends with Rosie! xxx
ReplyDeleteRosie looks such a friendly dog - beautiful eyes.
DeleteHow awesome that she was fit and healthy. Great she made friends too.
ReplyDeleteShe's a very friendly dog, loves people and other dogs.
DeleteAww I did enjoy this post.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased the vets visit went well.
Lovely photographs, the last one is so sweet.
All the best Jan
It's always a relief when there's nothing that requires further investigation :-)
DeleteGilbert's nose in the last photo looks to be very 'boopable'.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a lovely nose and it's always into everything - the helping nose, we call it.
ReplyDeleteRoxy and Rosie - how nice to become new doggie friends. Love Gilbert's new toy piglet friend too.
ReplyDeleteThe piglet complements the larger pig. Honestly, you'd think we have human babies in our house!
DeleteThat last photo - oh, my heart!
ReplyDeleteGilbert knows how to win your heart:-)
DeleteHow adorable the last photo is. Dogs can be so funny. My daughter and son-in-law currently have two - one a black husky and the other a Great Pyrenees/Australian Cattle Dog mix. They are really lovely dogs. The latter is a new addition as sadly my daughter had to put Shasta (her husky) to sleep. The Puppy is goofy and copies the other dog (not all good things lol). They always are so excited when we visit.
ReplyDeletewe've always had dogs and our children and (adult) grandchildren have followed suit.
ReplyDeleteI love to see dogs interacting - they always know who is at the top of the hierarchy, even if they are much, much bigger than the top dog!
