Roxy is very cute, I must say.

I also must tell this little story from my life. When I was younger, probably around 10 or 11, I wanted a dog so bad, my mom didn't care for dogs and she definately didn't want them in the house. So, my sister bought me a collie, guess where he had to stay, on the end of a chain, on a "trolly" type of setup, he could've gone down the trolly about thrity feet and outwards about twenty. He didn't though because the noise it made scared him. I had no choice, I wanted him inside, but mom would never have it. So, about a year later, a year of watching him lay down pretty much all day long, looking sad, depressed, and pitiful, I told mom we needed to find him a home where he would be able to run free and be inside with a family where he belonged and that I would just wait until I was able to get a home of my own to get another dog and keep it in the house with me.

Well, we did find him a home, a wonderful one, I went to see him all the time. It made me feel so good to know he was no longer on that horrid chain. He was happy and loved by us all, especially his family.

Now, about three years ago, when I was 19 years old, I got Rebel and a year later, Claire. They stay inside with me, where I spoil them rotten as can be, and I don't care what anyone says, this is my opinion and I won't force it on anyone, but there is no way to show a dog love like you can when that dog is inside your home with you all the time. No way. When it's cold outside, people don't want to go and sit in the yard with their chained dog for eight hours. A chain is no happy life, day in and day out, being healthy and fed and warm and having attention for even an hour a day is not being happy and loved, not true happiness and love.

I am really sorry, I know you are tired of hearing it, but I was once in your situation, a parent that wouldn't let my dog inside, wouldn't spend money to get him vet care let alone toys, just food and water, so I gave up that dog that I yearned for so badly, and it hurt, bad, but in the end, I did a good thing.

I know that some may get mad at me for yet again saying more that others have probably said in some way as well but I had to say that, I had to. I'm really sorry you guys.

Guys, I am on both sides. I hate seeing her on a chain to. I would NEVER in my life put ANY dog on a chain night and day. Maybe when your not there for a few minutes but that's it!NEVER how Roxy is being kept now. But she can't do anything about it. I'm sure she tried but its not working. Great pics! She's so pretty!
