Where I have not really been on this site for some months, I have just been looking back at some of the threads and when I came across Roxy...........enough said.
If I ask you really nicely, now 5 months or so down the line, can we see some more pics of your adorable Roxy?
Those eyes are just so............just something else. :)

Do you mean this sweet little face? Roxy is saying here: "Oh no:rolleyes:, I wasn't trying to eat the building blocks, really!:p". This little black dog is the devil lol! Well, ok:o... she's ALL puppy. Full of energy, into everything, etc. Guess doggie mom's forget a lot when you haven't had a baby in a while.

This is the full view of how big she has gotten. Six mos old now. She was in the 40#s last vet appt. Bet she's about 50# now. She goes in for her spay surgery next week. I worry about the anth risk, but know all should go fine. It's funny. With my yellow lab (almost white coat) that passed, she matched the white carpet. So I was in lab shedding ignorant bliss. Now, there's no hiding the black hair. But, her coat is so pretty. Roxy's beautiful raven coat shines like a piece of silk:cool:. Or maybe even on this forum we could say like fine quality bike shorts:D.

um, she's incredibly cute.
what is it about the eyes that lets them get away with...everything??
Cheers Miranda
Roxy's coat looks so beautifully glossy, I think her middle name should be 'Raven'.
My goodness, she certainly has grown.
Made me really smile seeing these pics. :)

Look at the paws on that girl! As you know, she will be "all puppy" until she's at least three. My Maeve (golden retriever) is 8.5 and is still as active as a puppy.
I stressed out each time one of my goldens was spayed. Only one of them didn't have to go back for a "stitch check" due to licking, too much activity, etc.
There are greater health risks---cancer---if you don't get her fixed.
Make sure you get the pre-surgery bloodwork.
Ohhh , I am in love with Roxy! You make me want another black lab! RFN!
ha, I didn't realize this thread was started in August, and couldn't believe how much she'd grown in a couple of days!!
I long for a dog to replace the one that just died in October, but I'm enjoying the respite from having to take him out at 6:30am and again right after work, and a couple more times before bed (when he was getting really old). I sleep so much better and my place is so much cleaner, but I just got his rug back from the cleaners yesterday and made me miss him all over again. So, not ready yet.
Congratulations on Roxy, she's looking so healthy and beautiful!
After our 12 year old chocolate lab passed away, we got a yellow lab pup. I remember how hard it was to go from an old mellow lab to a energetic puppy. You forget about all of the puppy stuff.
Just saw Marley and Me on Friday, brought back memories of our old lab and lots and lots of tears. Its a good movie for anyone going through the terrible puppy years. Makes you want to go home and hug your pup (no matter what they just chewed).
Roxy is very cute! Thanks so much for sharing.
She's so sincere!
I don't think I can ever watch Marley and Me. Even when I was browsing through the pages at a bookstore last year I was tearing up. Not sure how they handled his death in the movie, but I know I'll be one big sobbing mess, so I don't think I can watch it.
I'm sure anyone who's ever had the pleasure of caring for a dog can write a book of goofy things the dogs have done; they all have such amazing, unique personalities
