Erin,

I just want you to know that Roxy has turned out to be an awesome puppy. I
have had dogs all my life, and a previous aussie as well, and this dog is so
well tempered I cant believe she is a puppy. The family is having so much
fun with her and she gets so much attention that she sleeps due to pure
exhaustion not boredom. Her first introduction to the beach was interesting.
What's that thing with 2 legs and feathers that is faster than me? Is that
water drinkable? How come the water chases me?

Any way, this dog is going to have a great life with Christine and Lauren
(of course dad wont have any fun with her), and she will make their holiday
season more special. She went to church but was not allowed in the
sanctuary. Praise the Lord!

Thanks again and I'm sure the girls will keep you posted on her progress. We
will email some photos soon, hopefully not with her hanging from my pant leg
on the way out the door to the office.

Happy Holidays,

Tom Fausset

PS: The cat Fluffy has put Roxy in her place and now they sit 2 feet apart.
