Roxy just loves to go to Bernice's house to visit Cheddar and the gang. This was her first extended stay, and I could tell she missed me terribly, bless her heart. After she came home, she would whine thinking I was going to be gone from her a long time. Even so, I am totally relieved when my fur baby is cared for by Bernice. She is the best!
