Beloved Senior Pup Celebrates Sweet 16, Still Melting Hearts

A golden milestone filled with tail wags and tender memories.

Today marks a special celebration for one cherished canine — Roxy Lee Codone, a miniature rat terrier who just turned 16 years old. Described by her family as “still stealing hearts,” this sweet senior is being honored for a lifetime of unconditional love and unwavering loyalty.

Though the years have brought some silver to her coat and a slower pace to her step, Roxy’s spirit remains bright. Her soulful eyes, which have witnessed countless adventures and quiet moments alike, still reflect the deep bond she shares with her family.

“Sixteen wonderful years of love, loyalty, and those eyes that have seen it all,” her owner shared. “She may have a little more gray, but the love still burns just as bright as those birthday candles.”

Roxy’s journey is a heartfelt reminder of the joy our furry companions bring — not just in their youthful zoomies, but in their gentle, aging grace. As she steps into another year of life, her story continues to warm hearts and celebrate the timeless connection between humans and their dogs.

Happy 16th, Roxy — here’s to more cuddles, sunshine naps, and wagging tails. 💛🐾
