Dear family,

Roxanne is 7 years old and
furry . She has brown fur and a black nose. Her ears are pointy .  She is very energetic for her age and will run with you wherever you go. Are you convinced yet? If not read on. This female Labrador, retriever is a great gift for a kid or a wife. If you live on a farm this dog is perfect. She’ll run and play with your kids and relax by the fire with you. So please, please, please, please get Roxanne right now!

Fondly,
Jack M.
