I know you have trained Roxey some because she passed her CGC test...did you take classes to do this? The place we use has classes in agility, compition obdience and therapy dog work. Maybe you could find a place there that offers these type classes and your neice could train Roxey for one (or more) of these that would suit both her and Roxey's personality. We also have a weekly drop in fun and games class that they teach the dog new tricks, play games, teach some freestyle, flyball, agility, whatever seems like fun that night.

I remember some of the stuff my paretns went through with my sister (and I am sure me and my brother too) but I was 21 hen my sister was 15, so I had a little different understanding of things...it was a tough time. She went through a lot at that age. I wish you lots of luck! Although it won't all be easy, I am sure you and Mark will do great!
