New Addition

Well as some of you may know from Facebook or Twitter....my husband and I just welcomed a new addition to our small family.

Her name is Roxy, and she is a two year old border collie.  She LOVES to play, run, hike and well, just be silly.  She can't sit still....and we call know I can relate to that!

We decided to adopt a border collie because we love the breed and they are abandoned a lot by people who don't understand their quirks.  Roxy was abandoned by her first owner, adopted and sent back.

The application and interview process took a LONG time and then when we were finally approved, we drove up to Morris, NY about four+ hours away (on my most recent birthday) and met her.  We stayed with her for about two hours and then officially made the decision to bring her home.

Although she has her challenges, she is super sweet and loving and has tons of energy.  She loves to play frisbee, and she loves to walk.  We are trying a run tomorrow.

I will keep you all posted as Roxy is already a big part of our lives and she will be a big part of my morning runs!

Here is a very grainy picture the adoption agency took.
