I have been feeling guilty not showcasing Roxy, my sweet hound mix, quite enough on flickr. Josie makes frequent appearances because I chose her to use for the 52 Weeks for Dogs group, but Roxy is extremely special to me to. All of my dogs are special to me, but in different ways.
Roxy came into my life about 8.5 years ago. My sister and I were wasting a little bit of time and decided to go to the pet supply store. That day they had brought in some puppies from the local humane society. I had absolutely no intentions of getting a dog. I was 18 at the time, in college, and living in an apartment with my older sister. But as soon as I walked up to this little black and tan puppy with huge floppy ears, my heart was just stolen. At that time I really didn't have any money and relied solely on my parents. I called up my father and begged and begged him to come to the pet store and see this cute little puppy. I was not leaving the store without her. And I didn't. My dad finally caved in and adopted her for me.
At that particular point of my life, I was not in a very good place emotionally. I was in a bad relationship which seemed to make everything else fall apart. I think Roxy was brought into my life for a reason - she helped "rescue me" and I have called her my Angel ever since. That seems like forever ago- so much has changed in our lives, and she has been with me every step of the way. We have a very close bond - my family comments on how in tune we are with each other. This may sound silly to some, but some of you out there will understand :)

Roxy stayed the night with us and slept through . . . and I slept hardly a wink! She was a great guest.
I don't know what has happened to Corel, butuall my settings have changed . . . maybe a move to make me update, so I am having trouble processing photos . . .
tomorrow we are going to east London, as Abby flies out to Bangkok for work - a difficult job where she as a designer in London has had to juggle makers of her costumes across the other side of the world. So we are over in east London lending a helping hand for an afternoon/evening to Rachel and Ben. Hope Elsie will be well this week and up for a photo . . . last week she was unwell.

By the time we sat down for a drink before the meal, calm had been restored to the east London household. Roxy, who has just started at nursery and who seemingly has no problems with it . . . is exerting her new found independence at home, which makes the adults smile (or sigh). Here we have an endearing little tear on a grubby little face . . .

this morning I had a long facetime session with the east London contingency! Abby was using her IPhone and I was using my IPad and took some photos. Imagine taking photos from 13 miles away.
Abby and girls were in the garden, and it was the next best thing to watch them for about an hour and a half playing and Abby and i chatted - what to do about the fox who is wrecking her garden. Has anyone any tips how to prevent him entering?

we shan't be seeing the BEARS now for 4 weeks.
Yesterday, 20th August, was my paternal grandfather's birthday. He died in 1970 at the age of 84. It seems amazing to me that I knew all 4 of my grandparents and they were all born in the 1880s.

I am not a fan of Facetime but was happy to chat to Roxy for 90 minutes yesterday as she is stuck at home with chicken pox. She has 50 spots she tells me, but so far only a few on her face, on her forehead.
She set Abby's laptop up on her bed and literally pushed Abby out of the room and so she chatted, Edward and Wolfie joined in and so an awful day was made a little better . . .the awful bits? a lengthy telephone dispute which lasted all morning with Dell - still unresolved - and the cake I had made to take to Earl and Claire's for our table tennis afternoon today went most horribly wrong, and so this morning I went into default mode and made a lemon drizzle traybake!

English rock band Roxy Music was formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the band's lead vocalist and chief songwriter, and bassist Graham Simpson. Alongside Ferry, the other longtime members were Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Their success began with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972). Roxy Music had a fascination with fashion, glamour, cinema, pop art, and the avant-garde, which separated the band from their contemporaries. Stranded (1973) became the band's first number one album in the U.K. Other successes were the albums Siren, Manifesto and Flesh + Blood. The band's final studio album was Avalon (1982), which became platinum-certified in the United States.

Ben, Abby, Elsie, Roxy and Stan came over for lunch today. Roxy is learning words at an amazing speed. Needing a word in between hot and cold . . . along came' warm' which is quite a difficult concept for an eighteen month old, I think.
I made a pudding cake for dessert. . . with almonds, lemon and raspberries - I have never made anything before that has been eaten with such gusto - naturally Roxy ended up with raspberry in her hair and cake all over her clothes . . .
starting catch up now

Still with computer problems which are taking up the time I would normally spend on flickr. Hope to be back to normal soon ...

Roxy's reaction to the pandemic is one of wanting to stay close. Apparently on a bus with Elsie and Abby she insisted on holding both their hands. Sunday was her chance to make sure everyone was well vaccinated. Jane reckons she had 29 jabs!
This is my new puppy Roxy :) I will be picking her up in a few weeks to come and live with us. She is so so small and so sweet. Everyone will be seeing much more of her.
Lovetones Doll Roxy arrived today
I absolutely adore her, she is amazing, very posable, the vinyl looks so soft, her face-up is perfect, can't wait to get the other one.
be sure to follow me:

It wasn't until I was looking through the fuzzy pictures from facetime yesterday that it hit me how sad I feel. I haven't seen the Bears (apart from Ben on a flypast before Christmas) since September. Yesterday the lapatop was set up in Roxy's bedroom and Roxy showed me different things, was in turn a ballerina and horse rider . . .
