Tolerance

One day I will have to tell the story of how we got Roxy. My friend Amy finds great delight in it. In any case, Roxy was top dog in the house for four years before the boy came. She was none too thrilled afterwards, and neither were we. She started ummmm....leaving yellow rings on the carpet. As little buddy gets older, Roxy seems less annoyed with him. Now he has one redeeming quality to her - he eats food. Food that she can beg for (an art she has perfected). Food that sometimes misses the mark and ends up on the floor. This is why Roxy now tolerates him - he comes with three additional chances a day to vulture for scraps. One day soon, the boy is going to realize that he can shovel his unwanteds her way. I am sure they will be great friends after that.
