Roxie was pushy, aggressive (to the point that the veterinarian placed a "CAUTION" sign on her cage when he boarded her) and loyal only to the person most likely to next ply her with food, her drug of choice. If it is possible for a dog to be narcissistic, she was exactly that. She was, as Skip described her, a "ROCK STAR."
However, she had moments of sweetness. Roxie was much more welcoming of the girls when they arrived home from the hospital than Brownie, our cat. While Brownie staged a hunger strike, Roxie would sniff their feet and heads and look at them so curiously.
To say that Roxie was a good dog might be stretching the truth a little (she was a biter and had myriad behavioral issues).... but.... she was our dog, and we will miss her.
