Apparently a Saint Bernard Labrador Mix is a Big Dog

Did you know that a Saint Bernard – Labrador mix is a big dog?

That seems to be one of the only things people can say when they find out what kind of dog Roxie is. Well, that and also that she is cute. ;) It’s sort of funny now that we hear it so often. We’ve made a bit of a joke out of it now. Someday I’ll have to try to play it up a bit and tell the people they’re crazy. There’s no way our 3.5 month old dog is going to get any bigger! She’s full grown! hehe.

Anyhoo, Roxie is now easily over 35lbs. She’s starting to respond to voice commands (with some help from a pocketful of kibble) and is doing beter when we go for walks. She’s almost to the point where we’ll need the head collar as she’s just recently started pulling. Up until now it’s been a struggle just to get her to walk more than 5 feet at a time.

Lots more fun to come!

Kemptville Ontario

Well, we bought a house in Kemptville. We take posession exactly one month from today! Now I’m in the process of collecting as much information as I can on the town. Important things like where the fire station is (suprisingly this isn’t on the North Grenville website), who provides high speed internet and cable TV!

Eventually I hope to put together a “cheat sheet” for anyone else who might be moving to Kemptville. Some of this stuff might just be useful!
