Well, unfortunately Levi still has Roxie.
To make a really awful and long story short...
While Lexi was still a puppy, she was hurt and beat up so often and so badly by Levi that the last time I brought her to the vet (with a crushed pelvis), I knew it HAD to be the last time I did so. I finally broke down in front of our wonderful vet and told him what was going on and that if I continued to bring Lexi home, I knew she would eventually be killed.
My heart was/is not capable of bearing such a tragedy.
He discussed some options with me and I ended up signing over all rights to her, to the vet. They would rehabilitate her and find her a new home.
That had to be one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. She was my first baby girl; so beautiful and brilliantly smart. And trapped at my house.
Well, in an effort to collect more legal documentation on Levi, I was instructed to get vet records from all the vet clinics. So, I called the vet mentioned above. He remembered me...and Lexi. :)
And then he told me some incredible news: he is still Lexi's vet and she is doing fabulously. An older couple with grown children adopted her and treat her like one of their children. He said she is beautiful, healthy, and very smart. Just like I remember her.
That poor vet. Every time I have ever spoke with him, I've been crying. But this time it was tears of relief and joy and gratefulness. I still miss her, but she's being loved like she deserves to be. The Lord answered that prayer and I can't praise Him enough for that.
I'm not sure if I can do anything for Roxie. I have tried calling animal control and the Humane Society, but was told they can't/won't pick up a dog from their own owners. I was flabbergasted and frustrated. I flat-out told them what was going on. Apparently, someone at a DIFFERENT address needs to report it. I'm not sure how well that was thought through. >:[
Anyway, the vet also wrote a wonderful statement that should be helpful. I was also able to get another record from another vet today and am waiting on a 3rd on Monday. All of these should help! The Lord is good!

I'm so glad Lexi is doing well. you are so good and I believe your efforts will helsp save Roxyy as well. Ooh, that Levi, I want to punch him in the nose. But since punching is bad, I will just hope that people and animals in his path will be protected and that miraculously he changes so that no one else is hurt. Thanks for your blog comment. I love you too!
