BIG DAWGZ

I hate to admit it but since we got Mac, I have neglected my two big labs, Goose and Roxy. Gavin and I were planning on getting one of his brother's lab's puppies, but then we found out she wasn't pregnant and we couldn't wait. So Gav found this place in Tylertown with black lab puppies. We drove out and picked up our first baby. I will never forget it. I entered the cage with Gav's mom and we thought, "Aw this one is so calm, this is the one." Little did we know that Goose would turn out to be the wildest, goofiest, spastic dog we've ever seen. He has always been wild and hasn't calmed down yet. So now we have Goose and we had just gotten engaged.

We got Goose in May and in the next few weeks we found out that his brother's dog was pregnant. We adore his brother's dog, Suzy, and really wanted one of her puppies. Well the puppies get here in July and we decided one day after church to go see them. BIG mistake or maybe it was the best blessing. I walk in, hold that puppy, and it was all over. Next thing you know we are leaving with what we called "my" dog, "my" baby girl, Roxanne or Roxy as we call her.

We get married in December of that year and move into a 1000 sq ft apartment on the 3rd floor. It was the most fun, challenging, and crowded year of my life. I will always remember having those dogs at that apartment, for good and bad reasons. When I say we were blessed by Roxy, I mean I can't imagine not having her in our life. She completed our family, until one weak moment in 2009 when Gav bought me an inside weenie dog you know as Mac.
Goose and Roxy are a pair and when one of them goes it is going to be hard for the other.
Here are few pics of my big dogs sitting with us on the front porch.
