Roxy

My beautiful 4 year old spoiled Rottweiler woke up this morning not feeling to good. Anyone that knows me, know how much I love my animals. I have owned Roxy since she was 8 weeks old. Let’s run down memory lane.

I built a house in NC, decided it was too big for me to be alone and I opted for dogs to protect me in this country town. A German Shepherd Dog (Jojo) and a Rottweiler (Roxy). When I went to the breeder to pick out the Rottie, I saw the most loveable face ever. She was a fat little thing with her ears flopped. Okay, sure they all look alike, kinda, when they are 8 weeks old but she was special. I ended up picking her up and guess what!!!??? She urinated on me, a sign that she was mine. She picked me I didn’t pick her. And now almost five years later she is still with me and I love her so much.

So, what’s going on with my baby now… She seems to be having some joint pain in her right hip. She usually would jump on the bed with no problem or walk down/up the stairs without an issue. She is now making a painful squeal when doing either of these things.

She was given medication earlier today to help with the pain. It makes me so sad to see my fur baby in so much pain. I don’t know what is causing this pain and I’m going nuts trying to help her. Getting on the bed has been a task today, I had to actually pick her up and help her on the bed. Now, we all know I’m pregnant with twins so picking up a 110lb Rottweiler is not what I’m supposed to be doing, but to see that face of hers in agony was heart stopping.

I will give her a few days, if she is not feeling better than we are headed to the Vet. My baby girl might need to get an X-Ray. I will spend my last dime on my children human and canine.

Rest well my sweet baby and I hope you are feeling so much better in the morning. Momma loves you.
