We've been talking about getting a dog for a long time and we finally did it. We adopted Roxy from the Ft Bragg animal shelter today. She looks like a beagle mix. Roxy defiinitely is not house trained so we've blocked her in the linoleum part of our house until she learns. She's only 6-7 months old so there's plenty of time for her to learn to live nicely in the house. She already has great social skills with people, dogs and almost cats. Our cat isnt thrilled with the situaution but so far they've been civil with each other.
