This is Roxy, my mom's dog:

As I mentioned earlier my Grandma's birthday was last friday and my aunt came up from California to celebrate. So of course, since it is the perfect time of year for the Tulip festivals down in Mount Vernon (about 30 min south of us) there was a little sightseeing trip down to the tulip and daffodil fields this week. I offered to take Roxy since I am always up for more dogs in the house. She is a Puggle (part pug, part beagle) and I figured both she and our girls could use a play date to wear off some energy.
