[Rachel]

Souraya, I pray that your efforts will be rewarded with a good home for Roxey.

$20!!! That is outrageous for walking!!! I just talked to a dog sitter about watching the girls while we are in Florida and see charges $15/day/dog And for that she will keep the dogs at your house, her house or stop over, water your plants, get you mail, basically make your house look lived in. $20 for a walk is unreal!!!

I hope you find something soon. She is such a beautiful dog!

Poor Roxey and Souraya. I hope this situation gets a solution soon! Roxey is in my prayers.

What have you heard lately on Roxey finding a new home? Sounds like you have so many things going on at once. Is she a mellow dog?

Souraya,

I find myself going back to look at Roxey's picture at
least once a day. If you lived closer, I would say bring
her over now. She has the sweetest, most innocent,
loving looking eyes I've ever seen. I think Buddy would
like her because I like her so much.(I know that doesn't
make any sense) , but I feel they could get along. It's such
a big step to take from a distance, so to speak. If it comes
down to it, please let me know if Roxey becomes impossible
to keep any longer. Thanks, Liz .

Liz, that would be perfect!!! Mike and I could come down and visit you and Buddy and get to see Roxey too!! You know it wouldn't be all THAT difficult. Just get a rescue wagon going!! She would be perfect for you!!

Liz,

Roxey hasn't been impossible to keep, but my situation has made it very difficult to take care of both dogs in two separate locations. I miss Roxey and wish she could stay with me all the time while I was trying to find her a home, but Drake is not ready to accpet another dog into our home. They play fine on neutral territory, but if she comes into our yard, he gets pretty angry. I guess he can sense how much his Mommy loves her!

If you are interested in Roxey, I am sure we can find a way to get her to you. I did have an offer yesterday for a home for her, but the people wanted her to be an outdoor dog and I couldn't have that. I asked where would Roxey be if it rained, and they answered in her dog house. I immediately thanked them for contacting me and told them I had others to consider and would let them know soon. I will call tomorrow and tell them NO!

Oh that would be wonderful if Roxey could come to live with Liz and Buddy. I don't know if you occasionally get over to the cat boards, but my daughter's ragdoll cat, Gabriel, was recent re-homed to a Pet Talker, Sasvermont! SAS was vacationing in the Philadelphia area and the morning of the transfer we took a one hour ride to hook up with her at an easy to find location. Where there's a will there's a way! It has worked out just beautifully!! It all started with a post such as this one and now they are all living happily ever after. I know Roxey would be in excellent hands living with any Pet Talker and it would be like giving her to a member of the family!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Pam, I too think that any pet would have a great home with a Pet Talker. I will go and read up on that thread about Gabriel.

[mugsy]

Liz, if you get to take Roxey and you need someone to ride with you to pick her up, let me know, I'll come down and go with you.

[Sudilar]

Ohhhhh.........This is beginning to sound like a rescue event............ (fingers crossed, paws, too)

[ramanth]

It is exciting!

I am hoping for the best for Roxey.

Souraya, I wish I could help you with Roxey. Don't you sometimes wish your dog could speak english so you can tell him to be nice to the girl just until you can find her a home!?!?! I think Drake has Only Child Syndrome

I wish you the best of luck in finding her a home. And who knows, maybe Liz can take her afterall. She's a gorgeous girl!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Yeah, I do wish he spoke English, or French, or even Arabic. Anything so he could understand what I am trying to do. He does have Only Child Syndrome and I have been working very hard with him daily to try and over come that.

I do not want Liz to think I am pressuring her into taking Roxey. But if she wants her and thinks Buddy would like a playmate, I am sure we can find a way to get her there

[sasvermont]

Maybe another person here can get involved in the transfer? It is not always easy, and often takes lots of time - sometimes weeks to work out the details, but not necessarily!

I wish you guys lots of luck - and where there is a will there is a way.

It may not work out perfectly, but just so it works out is GOOD! It is so nice being "of help" to a fellow Pet Talker! And I think the comfort the person giving away the pet has, is incredible! I am sure Robyn and Pam are so darn happy that Gabe the Monster kitty is adjusting just perfectly at my home. He has been such a sweet guy so far. I think he needed to get knocked down a peg or two and not be the king kitty, and so now he is sharing the top spot with Graemer.

Anyway, keep working on this and hey, I bet it will have a happy ending!
