Merry Christmas Roxy....
Roxy we miss you so much.
Our hearts ache without you here.
Christmas is very hard this year. I hope that you are having a wonderful bridge Christmas with all of your favorite treats. Have fun with all of the furbabies from here and let them know their Mommy and Daddy's miss them so much. If you could..... please give Mommy a sign letting me know you are okay. That's all I want for Christmas.
We love you good girl, Mommy, Daddy, Donnie & Brittany

Happy 2 Month Bridgeday Roxy....
Today is 2 months since you left us and it also would have been 8 years to the day that you came to live with us. You did so much for us in those 8 years Roxy girl. More than I ever imagined. This house will never be the same without you. I miss hearing your boy call you his "beautiful girl". The other day I was washing dishes and I heard that familar awwwww right before he would say "my beautiful girl" and my heart jumped. I asked him to reapeat it, but I was mistaken. I nearly cried on the spot. Brittany has asked Santa to bring her a huge stuffed Roxy so you will always be with her. Of course Santa will make sure she gets one. We decorated the Christmas tree tonight. The kids seemed okay but of course your boy noticed something wasn't right with Mom and Dad. Probably because he was thinking of you too. I hope that you have met lots of new friends at the bridge. I hope they have your favorite Christmas treat there...Chew-ezzz. We loved to watch you try to open a box of them. You knew what was in there and tried so hard to unwrap it. Roxy we miss you more than words can ever describe. I can't believe it has been 2 months. Thank you for giving us everything you had and for fighting so hard to stay with us. I know you held on so we could be there with you. Please wait for us Rox, someday we will meet you there and I want you to be the first thing I see. Happy 2 month bridgeday and Merry Christmas.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Love, Mom, Dad, Donnie & Brittany

A sign from Roxy for my Dad?
My dad called me on Friday and asked me to watch our local channel 6 (ABC) news in the morning. He said there was a commercial for channel 6 weather with dog sitting in the snow. He said " Hey Wendi I swear this dog looks just like Roxy, you have to see it". I taped the morning news yesterday but just got around to watching it this morning. I could not believe my eyes. This dog looks exactly like my Roxy. Before I saw it I said to my Dad that maybe this was a sign from Roxy for him, as he and my Mom are taking Roxy's passing very hard. I was just so excited because Roxy LOVED the snow and it looks just like her sitting in the middle of a blizzard. It must be snowing like crazy at the bridge. I was feeling pretty down this morning too. I was upstairs in my bedroom looking out my window at the empty backyard and written in the snow is ROXY in big huge letters. My son must have done that when he and my daughter were outside playing. It was just a reminder of what we are missing and then I see this dog on TV and now I feel so much better. I'm sorry to ramble, this probably doesn't make much sense, but if anyone lives in the Philadelphia area and you see this commercial, it's my Roxy for sure. Thanks for listening and have a wonderful holiday. My thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with everyone here.

It's snowing outside......
Today is seven weeks without Roxy. It is snowing outside here and all I can see is Roxy outside playing in the snow with my kids. Trying to eat the snowballs my son would throw at her. Running through the yard at what looked like 50 mph for about 5 full minutes before she would stop and play. But it's all in my mind.... she is not there.... It doesn't seem right or fair. I have been dreading the first snow and Christmas and they are both here now. We got Roxy on December 17, 1995 and a few weeks later we had what was called the blizzard of 1996 during which we got about 20 some inches of snow. Roxy was 3 lb and 4 oz when we first got her, but that did not stop her from running and playing in the snow even then. Now I look outside and there are no pawprints in the snow on my deck and no trails from Roxy running through the yard. We miss her so much. It is not as intense as when we first lost her, but it will not go away. There is something missing in our family and though we have gone on, we are different now. She has changed us all for the better, which is why it is so hard to be without her.
Thank you for everything Roxy girl.
Have fun playing in the snow at the bridge and please know how much we all love and miss you.
You are always on our minds.

Forever grateful to Roxy....
I have truly been inspired by many people here at Petloss. They have made me see that I have alot to be grateful for. I am so grateful that I had 8 years with Roxy, for 8 is better than none. Roxy came to us when my son was 7 and he is now 15. She showed him all about unconditional love and I will forever be grateful to her for that. When I had my daughter, Roxy had to take a backseat to the new baby, but she didn't mind at all. She loved my daughter so much as well. She would always HAVE to go outside when "her girl" was out there to be her protector. Roxy has taught everyone in my house all about love. I just put the last picture of Roxy ever taken(just a few days before she passed)in a frame and though she looks a little older than usual, I feel so close to her when I look at it. I feel her with me.
Thank you Roxy for loving us so much.
ou will always be in our hearts and one sweet day we will be together again.I know you will be enjoying lots of turkey on Thursday. Enjoy baby girl.
