Mary Hone & Roxy

Who is in the photo at right?

Mary Hone. Artist and blogger. And Roxy, our Pomeranian/Chihuahua, and Torrey.

What's the occasion for Coffee with a Canine?

Roxy has coffee with my husband and I every morning. She sits between us in our big chair. We drink coffee and watch a little news. Even when we are traveling, she will sit in the chair in our trailer with my husband.

What's brewing?

Columbia drip brew. We like Sunflower Markets own brand. I have a little half and half, with unsweetened chocolate almond milk.

Any treats for you or Roxy on this occasion?

Roxy and Torrey both get some of Al’s cheerios for breakfast. They love them!

How were you and Roxy united?

My brother had a male Pomeranian and his roommate had a female Chihuahua. One thing led to another and that led to puppies.

I got pick of the litter, and she is awesome!

How did Roxy get her name? Any aliases?

My kids and I tossed around several names before settling on Roxy. We just liked the sound of it. Short, sweet and all that.

I call her Twinkle Toes a lot.

Where is Roxy's favorite travel destination?

The couch? Kidding. She loves to go anywhere, anytime. Camping, hiking, visiting, you name it.

Squirrel, postman, cat...?

Squirrel!! We have them in our yard and they drive her and Torrey crazy.

You make doggie necklaces: which one is Roxy's favorite?

The one she wears all the time. Yellow, turquoise, red and blue in a zig zag pattern.

Who are Roxy's best pet-pals?

Torrey, when she's in the mood to play.

What is Roxy's best quality?

She is so personable, everyone loves her. And she doesn’t bark much.

If your dog could change one thing about you, what would it be?

Stop working and snuggle with me. Or stop working and let’s go!

If Roxy could talk in the movie about your life, who should do her voice?

Ellen Degeneres. Hands down. Snarky, and tells it like It is.
