Pismo_Roxy

Before we left for Pismo Roxy "got her hair done" for the trip. We chose purple this time. She is such a good girl. As always she sat patiently in the bathtub while the color was shampooed in and rinsed out. On the way to Pismo she got stopped at a rest stop by a bunch of college boys in a bus to have Roxy take pictures with them and again on the 1st day at pismo while walking on the beach some tourists stopped to take a picture with her. Later on in the week while walking on the beach there was a caravan of Hummers that take people on a ride in the dunes and we heard over the loud speaker "It's a purple dog!" and everyone in the cars turned to look at her. It was funny.

Roxie has a new best friend, Bailey. She would smell her out when she was came into our trailer and sit at her feet and look adorable till Bailey picked her up and gave her cuddles. She has Bailey wrapped around her little paw!

Roxie is a little blind and a little def but generally does pretty well. The first day she took a header out of the trailer door while trying to get outside, luckily i was able to catch her before she hit anything. I figured she understood that that was a no-no because she didn't do it again... at least for another few days. She did it again (at 4:45pm of course) and hit the metal stairs on the way down and her nail got stuck in the step and she got hurt. It was bleeding so we tried to rinse the sand out and noticed she was more hurt than we thought and so we had to hustle to find a vet in town that was going to stay open enough for us to get to. We finally found one and jetted into town. They fixed her up and gauzed her and wrapped a cute pink cast-type thing on her and told us to keep her foot out of the sand. RIGHT! THAT'S TOTALLY POSSIBLE!.. considering we are sleeping on the beach. We ended up placing her foot in a zip lock every time we took her out to go potty.
