Rrrrrrooooooxxxxxaaaannnnneeee!!

Andy and I took a big step in our relationship this past week. We got a PUPPY! May I introduce you to Miss Roxanne "Roxy" Laverne Hedtke-Gergory!

Roxy was rescued after her owners moved and abandoned her along with her mom and sister. She is a German Shepherd mix with a cleft pallet and beyond adorable!

Like any new addition there are challenges and some come way sooner than expected. A couple days after having Roxy, I took her to the vet and found out she had parvovirus. Parvovirus is an intestinal virus that can be very deadly among dogs. Luckily we caught it soon enough and she made a full recovery and is a ball of energy.

Andy and I are so happy to have her home and looking forward to this adventure!!

American Idiot

This weekend I took a day trip to St. Louis to see the musical "American Idiot." On this trip I discovered I can't do day trips like I use to. Four hours each way doesn't sound too bad, but when it comes down to it, it's awful. For future reference I now know that my limit for day trips are two hours each way. Boy, I sound old.

"American Idiot" is the musical developed by the band Green Day and features their music. It was a really good show, lots of young talent. My favorite part of the show was that Craig from the TV show Degrassi was in it! The show was definitely worth the trip. Here is the shows website http://americanidiotthemusical.com/.

I would like to make a weekend trip to St. Louis. There is so much there to see. I'll try to start taking more pictures for my blog as well.
