You mean “Roxanne” was taken? But I like Roxy, no mistake.

What is there a national register for dog names then?

Roxy will be nice. Short and sweet, should suit her great

Best wishes,

Mark

Roxy is nice, even though it sounds like a cinema.
“What’s Roxy got on?”
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”

Or how about “Shorts” - that would fill both the boxer and film themes.

Well, Roxy it is. We picked her up on Friday and she’s settling in nicely!

Roxy’s got some balls.

Is he? I always thought naughtiness was in the eye of the beholder. Or, honny soit qui mal y pense, as the saying goes

Well no actually I said that he was naughty not that it was evil

Dog update! I’d just like to say a big ‘hoorah’ to Mr Cesar Millan, star of TVs ‘The Dog Whisperer’. Roxy had a rather annoying (and potentially rather terrifying) habit of trying to bite you in the face - playfully, but it was a really quick snap action and I decided I needed to kick that into touch right away. So I used Cesars technique of basically grabbing her by the scruff of the neck and holding her on the ground until she submits every time she did it - and as little as two days later, not a single bite attempt has taken place. It looks (and feels) quite nasty to do it, but she’ll be a better dog for it I’m sure.

And still she continues to grow!

Great photo Andy - looks like she is just about to take your face off! I assume this was before the training… If not she might be waiting till your off guard before going for the nose.
