Many years ago when we rescued Tasha we found her at a shelter about 65 miles from our home this is also where we found Roxie. Roxie was needing a family to love and give her a furever home. When we first saw Roxie I felt something inside of me, calling to me. We took Roxie out into a pen so we could visit with her, she was very gentle and sweet. She was also very skinny, her coat was very coarse and dull. They told us she had been turned in by her previous owners who refused to give any information on her, had been there for over a month and in that time very few people had looked at her. She is only 2 years old, they are guessing but for most they considered her to old, just not the kind of dog that is popular in this area. I have always been a sucker for the underdog so Roxie became a member of our family. We feel really good that we saved a life.

We couldn't have gotten a dog that looks the opposite of Tasha had we tried.  But, could it be possible that Tasha had a hand in us finding Roxie and was it with her blessing?  Here is this very different looking little girl but does so many of the things that Tasha did, here are a few of the things 

 Tasha use to eat laying down: Roxie eats laying down.

 Tasha slept upside down : so does Roxie

 Tasha when she first got home for the first time jumped out the back fence but never did again : so did Roxie

 Tasha would get in the car if the door was opened and lay in there until you took her for a ride : Roxie does the same thing

 Tasha would get on the couch when left behind and knock the pillows off : Roxie knocks the pillows off to

 Roxie hasn't taken her first trip in the big rig yet, probably she will become a trucker dog next week but I think she will be a good trucker dog after all she will have an Angel guiding her.

 My heart still aches for Tasha, I think it always will, she will always own a huge piece of my heart. I hope I am honoring my girl by saving Roxie's life and letting Roxie become part of our family.

 Jo Ann, Angel Tasha and Roxie
