About Champion of My Heart
Champion of My Heart started a real-time canine memoir. Hey, there! I’m Roxanne Hawn, a professional freelance writer / journalist and award-winning blogger. I launched Champion of My Heart in April 2007.
It began as stories of life with a fearful border collie named Lilly Elizabeth Hawn. Unfortunately, Lilly became sick with vaccine-induced brain inflammation in January 2012. Lilly died December 17, 2013, after a 693-day fight for her life. Recovery from the loss of our canine soul mate is ongoing.
In September 2014, a new canine heroine joined the family. Meet Clover Lee Hawn and learn more about how fate intervened to help heal our broken hearts. And, because we’re silly, in September 2015, a SECOND canine heroine joined the fun. Meet Tori Autumn Hawn. Then, in 2019, we ended up adopting our first-ever foster puppy. Meet Mr. Stix. The site now sometimes chronicle new adventures with all 3 of our amazing dogs — and the occasional foster puppy (or 2 or 3)!
These days, I try to write about dog topics that I think are important. Thanks to nearly 30 years of writing in the pet / veterinary space, I bring deep contacts and perspectives that few others can.
