Roxy, an empathetic dog

So I decided that since I have no cute baby or pregnancy stories, I am going to post about the closest thing I have to a baby now: my Roxy.  


Today Miss Roxstar did something so adorable.  I was flipping through the TV and turned to Animal Planet.  "It's Me or the Dog" was on and I usually learn a good tip or two from it, so I watched a few minutes.  A Long Island family had a hyperactive dog who struggled with new places.  They took the dog to some play area and the poor thing was lost and confused and running around hyper-ventilating.  So the dog is whining, and Roxy instantly perks up her head from the couch.  Her little ears are bolt upright and she jumps off the couch and runs towards the TV.  Matt and I both just gape at each other; she's never done that before.  She is inches from the TV and is whining too; she is sad for the dog on the TV that is whining!  So sweet! 
Matt had to call her back from the TV as he was worried she might jump at it.  Silly boys and their TVs- I was just worried about my poor puppy getting distressed at the dog on TV!  She is such a caring little pup :) 


Side note:  Roxy hasn't been herself for weeks, due to infections in her paws, etc.  But this past Monday we got tactic dip and antibiotics from the vets and VOILA! our energetic playful girl is back! :)  Suddenly on Tuesday she was running around and jumping off furniture trying to get us to play.  We looked at each other and just smiled as the Roxy we know and love had been gone for almost and month, and now she is back.  


Thank the Lord for our vet.  We love our puppy!  :)
