Roxie was born on December 2nd 2000 and came to live with us on 15th June 2002. Her breeder entrusted her to us after Roxie had undergone a successful operation for entropian (click here to see photos of Roxie's eyes in the weeks following the op.); she felt that Roxie would benefit from an environment where she would get more attention - especially as she would not now been shown, nor (of course) bred.
The following pictures are a snapshot of her first ten months with us.
The journey home was uneventful, apart from some panting. |
She was a little bemused at first! |
Her eyes still looked red from the op a week after she arrived. |
This close-up shows her eyes were healing by 27th June |
Roxie takes a great interest in all that is around her! |
I'm not sure the cats were quite prepared for Roxie's enthusiasm! |
The 3 girls enjoyed their quiet times together. |
It wasn't long before Roxie was playing with Toby & Maggie. |
 Over the summer months, Roxie decided she liked her new home. |
 She was accepted as a fully paid up member of 'The Gang'. |
 Toby was quite happy to have her tag along. |
 And they all ate together very amicably. |
 But Maggie is her special friend... |
 Where they are, trouble isn't far behind! |
 And as there's only 11 months between them, they should have a long and happy life together. |
 This is one of the last photos before Annie crossed the Bridge. |
 Roxie used to hate mud and water, but Maggie is teaching her both are fun... |
 Maggie used to tease Roxie by jumping in the pond... |
 But when the bridge collapsed, Roxie jumped over the ice to the island anyway! |
 Peaceful, but for how long? |
 And this is Roxie's latest portrait. Isn't she beautiful? |
