Roxy

Well, we finally wore Greg down enough and got a dog. She is a 5-year-old Shepherd/Chow mix that we adopted from a co-worker's MIL who was moving. She settled into life at the Potter household very quickly, but the cats still are not used to her. For the most part, she leaves them alone, but they hiss and growl whenever she walks into the room. Lucky (aka Buddy) stands his ground, and has even swatted at her when she gets too close. Purrmo on the other hand has banished himself to the garage since Roxy's arrival. He sleeps in the sleeping bags on top of the camper, which works during the colder winters. I don't know what he will do during the summer to keep cool. When Purrmo does venture in the house, he bolts every time he sees Roxy. She believes this is a game, and chases him! Hopefully, they will all learn to get along soon. The girls love having a dog, and are pretty good about cleaning up the doggy land mines in the backyard and feeding her (although they do have to be reminded several times before completing those tasks!)
