Everyone loves their pets but for some they are a part of family and loved like their own blood. This is a tale of such a loved pet Roxie, as she grows from a puppy to an adult, and beyond. The author recalls each detail of her time spent with Roxie in this memoir dedicated to her loving memory. Nancy writes, As long as I live, I will never forget this girl for all that she taught me and the joy that she brought. I called her Roxanne at first, but changed it to Roxie  it had to be a name that my father would remember. The story behind the name is simple and spontaneous. She was named for Roxanne from Cyrano de Bergerac  I named her the first time my dad left her with me when he went on a vacation. But for the life of him, my dad couldnt ever remember her full name, so the six-week-old puppy came to be known as Roxie.
