Roxy Cleopatra (a whole lot of terrier), ran away again last night. Her owners reported that she escaped out of the back door at approximately 8:30 pm Sunday evening. Though spotted numerous times by her owners, running through neighbors yards, barking at stray cats and causing a scene in the neighborhood, she eluded capture.
Freddie Finkel, her common law spouse, a fat bichon frise, kept watch at the back window in hopes she might return. He spent a good part of the evening whimpering, and if he could speak, he would have said, "Roxy, come back, I need you baby".
Prayers were said by the children of the family. Hayley, the oldest, admitted that, even though she didn't pay a lot of attention to Roxy, she would really miss her if she didn't come back. Hayley and Sydney both agreed that the family should probably get another dog, but not a Cairn Terrier, next time.
Her owner, Gregg, tried to catch her in the neighbor's yard, but felt a little like peeping tom walking around other people properties at two o'clock in the morning. Instead he came in the house, and a decision was made to keep the screen porch door open and just wait.
At 5:02 am, Lori awoke, and decided to check the screened in porch, though groggy, she spotted the dog. Roxy was sleeping soundly on one of the cushioned patio chairs.
"All I kept thinking was, she knows where she lives!"
The family went back to sleep, feeling relieved and grateful that their prayers were answered.

I can only imagine what a certain person in our family is thinking right now. That dog is truly something!
I am so glad she found her way back home.
Now that Roxy is home, you have no excuse not to call your doctor.
