Roxy Cushing

I wanted to introduce everyone to the newest Cushing family member - Roxy.

We (I) have been looking for a Boxer for a very long time, and when I found this one, I knew she would be great for our family and our family would be great for her. Roxy had a rough past and although she is only 22 months - she needs lots of tender loving care. She has a birth defect, as you can see...her jaw is off, which causes her tongue to hang out the side of her mouth, but that makes her really precious. She spent most of her life outside in a kennel, so she is very timid, she loves Alex and is warming up to the rest of us. She is testing our her new freedoms, roaming through the house, and pacing up and down the fence in the back yard...she is happy!

Here is a shot of her just chilling -
Alex showing off all of the new toys he bought his Roxy dog with dad. He is very possessive of her and does not really want to share her with the other kids.
All 3 kids and one dog - our family is complete!~
