A beginning..

Shiloh meant "Finding peace" but Roxanne means "dawn" which is the ultimate beginning to a new day.  So that's what we chose to name the newest member of the Stumpf pack.
Meet Roxi

I've always wanted to keep one 'non-greyhound' member in the pack and started looking about 1 1/2 weeks ago.  I contacted a lot of groups about dogs I found on Petfinder and we even visited a few.  But none were 'just right'.  Until I saw this one..we met her and within seconds Jason said "I want this one"..

We adopted her from Capital Area Rescue Effort (CARE) in Richmond and she was pulled from a high kill shelter (>90%!) in West virginia just 10 days before we met her.  She is about 1 year old (we decided her birthday was her adoption day 5/19) and a lab mix (probably Pit, Corgi..Heinz 57).  Her shelter paperwork said she was picked up as a stray and was labeled #626. She's smaller than Shiloh but has similar mannerisms and structure.  She has absolutely be perfect for us so far.  Well mannered, loving, happy, laid back and a little playful.  She has a little eye infection but we are working on getting that cleared up. 
She's one lucky girl and I think she knows it..

 She had her first bath today and she NEEDED it!  It is  nice to have a little 'young' in the pack again.  We will also be getting our first true foster greyhound in a few weeks. 
What does Cali think of all this 'new'? 
She's not too happy with it all just yet..Roxi licks her and plays with her toys.  The pink poodle gets protected.

 But not to be outdone..Cali says she can run and look cute too.

 We take Roxi to her first 'dog' event next weekend.  I think she will do fabulously.  We are very lucky too.
