Welcome Back Soon! - From Mom

My awesome Bark and Biscuit trainer Ashley has Roxy for a board and train. I was supposed to get her back Friday, but she asked, with my permission, if a few more days of training would be okay because Roxy needs it! I love that Ashley looks out for our best interest! I know Roxy is a high strung little ball of excitement and energy. She wants so much to please you, but sometimes she tries too hard, gets freaked out when she can't figure out what you want, and falls over on her back as if she's saying, "I tried, please just love me!" It's so sad. If she were to just calm down and pay attention, I know she is smart enough to get it!!

Ashley is also teaching her to leave stuff outside! She's just so excited to go say hi to everything, that it can be annoying, and even dangerous when we're running or on my bike. This, among other things, Bark and Biscuit is getting taken care of! I miss her so much since I live alone, but this is totally worth it. And every picture she sends me of Roxy, she always looks so happy! A dog with a job is definitely a happy one. In the meantime I'm trying to take advantage of my extra time and get things done! I don't have a yard, so it's nice to be able to run some errands after work for awhile and take my mind off of my current lack-of-dog.

I made her a Welcome Back sign on the kitchen chalk board I made! Cuz...Roxy will totally appreciate it............she'll walk in and see that...and be like......wooofity woofin wooof! and I'll be like, "I love you too!"

So Much Work - From Roxy

Okay. I think I'm finally understanding what these people want from me. They want me to be calm like a lot and around a lot of things, and to pay attention to them. When I get very excited, it is not good. I feel bossy and like I could just do whatever I want! Which is a great feeling, but my humans don't seem to appreciate it very much! Especially when we're outside. Then I feel really bad when I make them not happy. Plus I get so distracted that I wander too far! Instead let's all be happy, I can do this! I can listen to them! I like structure! Cuz sometimes I don't know what to do...and it makes me sad and nervous that I'm not doing something right. I'd rather we just all get along, and if I'm supposed to heel around a chicken, or come when I'm called, or not plow into you when we play fetch, then that's what I'll do!

I've been working for almost a week now with my other pack leader Ashley. Maybe that's why mom kept saying she'd miss me! I haven't seen her. Maybe she's not allowed cuz I'd get so so excited! 

Well I hope mom knows this is worth it, I love all this attention and work and I can't wait to show her what I know!

Ch-ch-cheee ... eese? - From Roxy

Oh dear this trainer is making me just sit outside my door! I can't even go anywhere and it makes me very nervous! I think she's waiting for me to 'relax,' as mom says. Maybe...maybe if I give her a smile...we may then go, yes?
