It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Roxy Popov, who left us on May 24, 2026. Roxy was an extraordinary soul who wore her heart on her sleeve and brought boundless love into the lives she touched.

Roxy was not just a dog; she was a beloved companion whose spirit radiated warmth and affection. Though she was a large dog by size, she was a true lap dog at heart; a gentle giant who sought comfort in the closest embraces. Loved ones often marveled at the paradox of her tender desire to be cradled and cherished like a tiny lap dog. She might not have been the fiercest guard dog, but she guarded her family with an unfailing devotion that was unmistakably her own. More than a watcher at the door, she was a giver of love, a snuggle enthusiast whose greatest joy was curling up beside those she adored. Roxy's loving nature extended to all moments of daily life; whether lounging contentedly with her family or eagerly savoring the tastes of human food that she favored so much. Her playful spirit shone brightest when she was spending time with those she loved, especially with her beloved mom, with whom she shared a special bond that words can scarcely capture.

Though Roxy's time with us has ended, the warmth of her presence, the softness of her cuddles, and the light of her loving gaze remain forever in our hearts. She was a steadfast friend and a gentle companion who reminded us all of the simple joys found in love and closeness. As we mourn the loss of this precious lap dog in a big dog’s body, we hold tight to the memories of her tender spirit. 

Roxy, your loving soul will be missed deeply, but your legacy of warmth and affection will linger endlessly in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to call you family. Rest peacefully, dear Roxy.
