Her parents decide to buy her a puppy of her own for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Kayleigh’s dad drives to his friend’s house to pick up a blue puppy for Kayleigh. Her mom and dad find it difficult to pick a puppy for Kayleigh because they are all very cute. The puppy becomes Kayleigh’s best friend and she names the puppy Roxy.
