She was taken in when she was five and a half years old by her current owner; who trained her up and brought out the diamond within.
Roxy is now a PAT dog (Pets as Therapy), she is so steady she has been used as a Stooge dog to help other dogs overcome behaviour problems - and she just won the Golden Oldie championship at Scruffts ( for non pedigrees) this year.

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to do a portrait of such a special dog! I'm sure you'll enjoy working on this one. I'll be back to watch Roxy come to life on paper!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teresa. I hope you enjoy watching as I do painting! xx
ReplyDeleteHave always been interested in the pet therapy programs, my previous dog used to do a reading program at the elementary school where the kids would read to her, our younger dog is still a little too wild for the therapy program, maybe as she matures?! Look forward to seeing the completed portrait of this amazing dog.
ReplyDeleteHow marvellous your dog did a reading program, Maria!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy watching the stages xx
I enjoyed reading those letters to Santa Paws, but never saw one from Missy!

Thank you all for the lovely comments about Roxy, she really is a special girl.
ReplyDeleteMaria, I enjoyed reading about your dog taking part in a reading programme with children at school, we hope to do that in the new year, if possible, as part of Pets As Therapy. For now we visit a residential care home on a weekly basis - they love it and so does Roxy. :o)
