My Alibi: Roxy

Roxy went to the Rainbow Bridge on Monday, October 28th, 2019 (nine years to the day since I lost my mother). We had a weekend of special meals and tons of love. The transition was very relaxed and the staff at Pamlico Animal Hospital were kind, compassionate, and caring.

On Friday, I spent several hours pouring over thousands of pictures of her taken over 14+ years. We have had a great time being her peeps!! She definitely has had a rich life living on a boat as a gypsy and watching divers’ bubbles on dive boats.

She now is pain free and running - jumping like she did when she was young. Her vibrant and spirited personality will live on in our hearts and the many stories we have to tell of her shenanigans. Her earthly body was reduced to ashes and they will be permanently placed on a beach in the Bahamas - someplace she loved. For a happier post go back and read the blog post from February 2, 2014 - the blog is from Roxy’s perspective.

She was always pretty good at making her wishes known and had become even more assertive in her senior years. When she wanted me to know that she was still hungry, she had learned that knocking her empty food bowl across the floor of the boat would get my attention. I'm quite sure that her entrance into the afterlife was probably punctuated with that action since the appointment at the veterinarian was at precisely the time she usually let me know it was time to eat.

As for her peeps, they are trying to stumble through the days without her. Looking forward to the day we will be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. Below are a few of the many pictures we’ve taken that show her huge personality through the years. Enjoy your white sand beach and turquoise water, Princess Roxy!
