Well, if you can imagine what someone named Roxy would be like… that is exactly how Roxy is.  She’s fun and silly and boisterous, and takes life by the horns… well… all that when she’s not taking a nap on the floor or getting belly rubs.  You know how it is.  Life is tough.  I mean… life is Ruff.  Yep, that’s it.  Life is RUFF.

My sister-in-law asked if the fact that I did a photo shoot of her “kids” meant I thought she wasn’t EVER going to have any of the human variety.  Of course not!   But either way, I’m a proud auntie!  ;-)

Next we need to work on “Pam”, their other black chow that is a bit older, but a more recent addition.  Pam is furrier than Huck and being so dark, I need some better lighting for her than the portable flash units I had with me that day.  So stay tuned for those… one of these days!
