Born in Arizona in Spring 2000. Roxy was a great  little runt reindeer chihuahua. She was always so friendly and playful.  In late October 2009 one of her eyes went blind. In December 2010 she  went full blind. We found out that she was diagnosed with a brain tumor  and she has a cancer. Roxy's life ended on August 17, 2011 at around  4:30 p.m. Even though Roxy did have many problems throughout her life...  she was the best little runt reindeer chihuahua ever!

text-align: justify;"&gt;What traditions do you have to honor those who have served our country? Memorial Day, for many, is a day to barbecue and celebrate with family &amp;amp; friends.&amp;nbsp; This summer I've planned on getting back to the "basics" with my kids. I'm excited to slow down and look for those teachable moments.&amp;nbsp; To kick off the summer, I am going to start a new tradition by sending a care package to overseas military personnel. Consider other ways that you might be able to let those serving know that you appreciate their efforts, such as making and sending thank you cards, or sending thank you emails.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

She was talking about New Years Resolutions.&amp;nbsp; Discouragement was in her voice as she said she never lived up to her resolutions.&amp;nbsp; Then I heard her voice change.&amp;nbsp; Positive energy was coming from her as she told me how her husband always encouraged her to make the resolutions...even if she didn't think she could live up to them.&amp;nbsp; He went on to encourage her by telling her that if we don't shoot for "something"...we'll get "nothing".&amp;nbsp; He also told her that making 50% of her goals was far better than not trying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #073763;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #3d85c6;
