Roxi is officially ONE on May 31. We picked her up in Sacramento on August 6 to process her paperwork for her journey to Shanghai. Then, we watched her grow!
She had five days to enjoy the backyard in California – to lie in the grass and chase the girls.
She made the journey to Shanghai with Jim – a very long journey.
Her favorite place in the kitchen is under the cabinet – still is today as she squeezes under the cabinet.
Roxi liked to sit in the circle of the table…but she doesn’t fit anymore.
Roxi and haircuts. She was a little fluff ball at the end of August before her first hair cut. The Chinese groomers love to fluff her. Every time she comes back from the groomers, we are not sure she is OUR Roxi. But, once she is wet, she is back to OUR mop top Roxi
Beds…Roxi has three.
She has her first bed given to us by the breeder, Susan. This blue one remains under the Kitchen cabinet. She has her brown bed in the living room – she blends into this one.
Roxi has her bagel bed “For Your Dog Only (FYDO)” from Berkeley. This is Roxi’s sleeping bed. I require only one important item in a dog bed – the cover MUST come off to wash. I was amazed at how many expensive dog beds did not have this feature. I brought the bed back to China with me on our Halloween trip to America. She loves this bed. Eleri loves to run down the hallway with Roxi chasing and biting at her to dive into Roxi’s bed.
Roxi has a many friends here at Yanlord. The “dog park”, the area we have claimed for the dogs to run, is under our window. Roxi will sit in the window to see if she can see her friends. Amazing is that you can tell which dog it is from 29 floors up. If Jim has Roxi at the weekend dog play date, I can stand in the window to pick out all the dogs, but harder to tell people from the 29th floor.
The dogs have discovered the water. Now, they are wet every weekend after the play date. Sometimes all three are wet – Roxi, Emersyn and Eleri. Roxi is in “dog heaven” on the weekends.
Roxi with the girls.
Standing tall – how quickly Roxi grew! Roxi is long and lean. She is very tall when she stands on her back legs.
Roxi growing taller than Eleri.

The first year with Roxi. The girls are thrilled to have Roxi – the best birthday present ever!!
