The Little House on the Corner

Two Riddles Answered

The Little House on the Corner has heaved a sigh and quieted down a great deal this week. The Faria family is gone after a happy reunion. There are many photos to share later this week. Last time I posted I asked a few questions at the end..."what is white, has four legs, and runs in circles?" I should have added, "what likes to hang upside down for long periods of time and eats like a horse?"

The answer?

ROXIE!!!

She is the newest member of our family and she is a riot! Brittany found her on KSL Classifieds. A young couple in Spanish Fork were feeling bad because they couldn't give her the time and attention she needs.  Both of them were now working two jobs and they had moved into a house with no fenced backyard. Poor Roxie spent all day and all night cooped up in the house with two cats (which may explain some of her wackiness!).

Did I say "runs in circles and hangs upside down"? Um...yes. She is a Jack Russell Terrier just like our Samwise was and her energy level is at a different high! She never stops moving, NEVER, unless someone sits down. Then she will hop up in any available lap and drop off to sleep as if she is exhausted, because most likely, she is! One of her most comfy positions in her bed or in somebody's arms is like this...

She will stay this way for as long as you let her, and if you try to sit her upright she flops right back! She reminds me of some of my children as they used to do the same thing. She has brought lots of fun and laughter back into our home and I have so much more to tell you about her but first I have to answer another riddle.

What has ten fingers, ten toes, and flutter kicks like an Olympic swimmer already?  Her are a few clues...

 The answer?

My grandson!!

Isn't he just the cutest little guy? We cannot wait to meet him. Estimated time of arrival?
