    After getting Dyson back on track after his ED diagnosis we decided to adopt Roxy from the SSPCA. Let the fun commence..

    All I know is she is about 5 years old and a little nervous. Wasn't mistreated in anyway, is a bundle of love and energy. She has never been walked on a lead and sadly isn't sure how to play. Nothing like a challenge:)

    Aw bless her she's bound to be a little nervous. Charlie didn't know how to play either but Hattie wasted no time in showing him now we can't stop him :D Interestingly he never plays with any other dog.

    Dyson doesn't quite understand why she won't play. He's trying his best bless him. Good thing is Roxy would chase a ball from dusk till dawn, has good recall so hopefully they will be good for each other...fingers crossed.

    You have got it made, Charlie is the furthest thing from a retriever on the planet and he's a Labrador x Pointer - unbelievable and he had NO recall but does now. Of all the dogs in all the rescue centres …...:rolleyes::D

    Welcome to Roxy! I'm sure it will take her awhile to settle in, hope there isn't too many bumps along the way!
