[QUOTE= (Walking her is technically a chore now.) [/QUOTE]

Hi Bri,
I am sorry for what happened but if Animal Control showed up, I am sure there was a valid reason for it. They really don't invent stuff and have no interest in taking your pet away.

Anyway, I was VERY surprised that you find walking Roxy a chore. If you love Roxy, you'd want to take her out for a walk. Put yourself in her shoes... err paws. How would you like to stay in one place all the time without going anywhere. That would drive anyone nuts. I really think you should set aside more Roxy and you time. She needs the attention. A dog her size MUST be walked at least twice a day for 20-30 minutes. You should be able to do that for her. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon or early evening. I am not perfect and can't take mine every day for 2 walks but at least 6 days a week they get thier walks in.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way. We love you and just want what is best.
