Meet Roxie, a 2 year old black & white Havapoo, who is one of the many pandemic puppies of Oak Lane!
Driven to New York from Texas in June of 2020, Roxie quickly acclimated to life in Scarsdale. She likes long walks through Fox Meadow, peanut butter treats, playing fetch and eating living room rugs. A patterned black and white, Roxie does not like to get her coat wet - she will stay inside on rainy days to avoid a mess.
Roxie loves her brother and sister, Spencer and Harlie, and follows them around the house so she is never alone. Roxie can often be found napping under a desk or lying on the couch in the sun. One of her favorite activities is sitting under the kitchen table waiting for crumbs to drop during dinner. Inherently playful, Roxie is always up for a play date with her neighborhood friends, and will jump over and around them to get their attention if they are feeling shy!
Spencer and Harlie love playing with their puppy...Their parents wish they could say they loved feeding, walking and cleaning up after Roxie!
Luca: Worth Far More Than 1,000 Pesos

Luca is by far the best addition to the Glik household during the COVID years! He turns two in July. While his size can be intimidating, he fits the stereotype of his bark is worse than his bite. He is very protective of his family unless someone is willing to say hello to him and scratch behind his ear. Luca loves ruff-housing with larger dogs yet is more than happy to lie down and let smaller dogs jump on him. With his gentle and kind demeanor, Luca loves to visit the park, play tug of war, sleep, and bark at every bunny he sees!
For those of you wondering how he was named, Luca means 1,000 pesos in Argentine slang and we thought that Luca was going to cost us many lucas over his lifetime. He’s well worth it!

Meet Lefty! He is an almost 2 year old Bichon Frise who has quickly become the favorite son of the Jordon household. He was born in New Jersey and is the son and nephew of Champion show dogs. Lefty prefers the leisurely life of being a family pet and opted not to take after his lineage. He loves long walks, tummy rubs and pears! However, he hates getting bathed, windy days and the mailman! He also loves playing soccer in the backyard, and swimming at his grandparent's pool!
Although he is slow to warm up to new dogs, he has some favorite pals in Fox Meadow.
His sisters Gabi (8) and Natalie (6) love helping care for him and he eagerly waits for them at the top of the driveway when they get home from school with kisses and affection.
For Ajax Age is Just a Number

Ajax is the grande dame of Fox Meadow, having just turned 17 (although she doesn’t look a day over 12). Ajax is a sweet, smart, affectionate, and exceptionally well-traveled Coton-de-Tulear. Originally residing in New York City, she much prefers spacious, suburban Scarsdale. Ajax joined Allyson and Jonathan Simon just after their honeymoon in 2005, before her human brothers, Chase and Lance, were born.
Although Ajax used to be more energetic, she has adjusted to the senior lifestyle nicely. She no longer races up and down the stairs or jumps on and off the furniture. However, she enjoys her strategically placed cozy beds where she naps peacefully. And instead of long walks, she now prefers to stand and sniff. But she still has a great appetite – she especially loves sliders, salmon, chicken, sweet potato, broccoli, and treats. She’s at her happiest when everyone is home and she has her normal routine. However, she’s been a jet setter since four months old and even spent this past Spring Break in Palm Beach. Ajax wants to let all of her doggie friends know that age is just a number.
