Fun Day at the Farm!

2012-02-02T22:40:00.000-05:00

WOOF WOOF Every Doggie!

Last Sunday, I had a play date with my friend Miken!

She is my Momma's bosses doggie, and we got to watch her for the day! Miken is a beautiful boxer!

She is a lot of fun to run with!

We saw the most booooTIful Sunset

All in all, it was a great day for a play date!

Bark atcha later!

While Momma's Sleeping...

2012-01-23T19:51:00.000-05:00

Momma says something strange happens while she is sleeping....

When she wakes up in the morning... my stuffies are in weird formations....

When she asks me about it.. I deny everything.

Momma must never know what goes on during the secret society of stuffies meetings.... shhh ... it's top secret.

Howl-a-Day Cookies for all my Fur-ends!

2011-12-29T21:20:00.001-05:00

Hewoo Every doggie!

I hope everyone had a Happy Howl-a-Day! I wanted to share with woo all that Momma and I made Christmas Cookies for all my Fur-ends! We had so much fun mixing the dough, rolling it out and cutting it into doggie shapes (ok, well Momma did all that and I watched)

First she mixed up all the dough, then she rolled it out... and she used a doggie shaped cookie cutter to make the cookies

Then she baked them in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes

Are they kewl yet? I can't wait to taste one!

Nom! Nom! Nom! Mmmmmm! These are good!

I make a good taste tester!

Once we had them all baked and kewl, we put them in pretty little boxes for all my fur-ends.

Momma and I made LOTS and LOTS of cookies becuz I have LOTS and LOTS of fur-ends!!

If you would like the res-sip-pee - here it is - all my fur-ends loved the cookies - they awl said they are dee-lish-us!

Peanut Butter Doggie Cookies

2 cups wheat flour
1 cup rolled (or steel cut) oats
1/3 cup all natural (no sugar added!) Peanut Butter
1 1/4 cup warm water

Mix dry ingredients together, then add water - mix and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness - cut into shapes
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes

Be sure to refrigerate any left overs if you don't lap them up within 3-4 days. Freeze them if you wanna keep them longer

All my fur-ends LOVED them! My cuz-ins Rowdy and Louis really liked them!

I hope you enjoyed spending time with your fur-ends this Howl-A-Day season .. me and brudda sure did!

Love and Licks!
Lexi

Happy Howl-a-days!

Lexi's word of the day - "Responsibility"

2011-12-10T19:40:00.000-05:00

Hewoo all you doggies out there! I hope you are all having a wonderful Howl-a-day season.

Becawz I am helping Momma become a writer, and my bloggies name is called "Lexi's Lexicon" I thawt it would be fun to learn new words!

The word of the day today is Responsibility

The Hooman definition of Responsibility is:

re·spon·si·bil·i·ty

noun, plural -ties.

1. the state or fact of being responsible.

2. an instance of being responsible: The responsibility for this mess is yours!

3. a particular burden of obligation upon one who is responsible: the responsibilities of authority.

4. a person or thing for which one is responsible: A child is a responsibility to its parents.

5. reliability or dependability, especially in meeting debts or payments.

The Doggie Definition of the word responsibility is a vow to always love me - to always make sure I have a warm bed, fresh water to drink, plenty of food to eat, trips to the bet to keep me healthy, and to give me the same unconditional love that I will always give you - even if I get naughty and pee on the carpet or chew your favorite pair of shoes. It means to take me for walks, play with me, and keep me company. Being responsible for your pet means to give him or her proper training, guidance, love and support. We should be treated as part of the family. That is what being a responsible Dog-ma means.

I know that many hoomans want to make the Howl-a-days very special for their children, and may be considering putting a cute puppy under the tree. I mean, we are cute as puppies... so its hard to resist - especially when you are walking through the shopping malls and see all the cute little puppies in the store front windows. But I must sit up and beg... pweeeze pweeze don't buy when bootiful shelter dogs (like me) die.

I was adopted from a rescue, and because I came from a loving, caring (responsible!) rescue - I got all my shots, behavior training, and passed a good citizen test before Momma even got me. She knew when she got me, all she would have to do is continue to be responsible to me, and I would be a good dog. Woof!

So pweeeeze... if you are thinking about adding to your family this Howl-a-day and getting a puppy - please ADOPT.... and before you even consider that, please do lots of research on what breed would be best for you and your family, and make sure you are ready to be a responsible hooman to your new pet.

Loves and Licks!

Lexi

Snoozin' Sunday (well, for me anyway....)

2011-12-04T21:23:00.012-05:00

I hadz a snoozin' Sunday. I took many many nappies. Momma cleaned the howse while I snoozed. She said she wished she was a puppy sometimes so she could sleep all day. I sayd she should just join me.

I wuvz to take naps.....

Sometimes I sleep on the floor....

Sometimes I sleep in my bed....

Sometimes I dream about belly rubs ....

Sometimes I sleep on bellys....

sometimes I like to snooze in the sun patches on the floor....

Where's your favorite place to snooze?

Momma spruced things up around here!

2011-11-28T21:18:00.006-05:00

Hewoo every doggie!!

Momma sayz I needz a new look on my bloggie... she said she had been knee-gleck-ting my blog.

I think it looks very purty. The back ground pick-shurs are from this past summer when Momma and I went kayaking on her birthday. It was so much fun - we found all sorts of water lilies - they were sooooo purty.... I loved floating around and looking at them all.

I's sowweee that me and Momma haven't been posting much. Momma sayz she'z been beee-zzee.. but she never forgotted how the dogz with blogz were there for her and Sister during a very hard time. Itz so nice to know youz all are here.

Hopefullyz my Momma posts more often - we have so many adventures! Momma takes lots of pick-shurs - she sayz we need to share them more! I like sharing!

Here is me and Derby trying to share my bed:

What do you like to share?

Momma started a new bloggie

2011-10-08T21:52:00.003-04:00

For any doggie who is interested..

Hopefully she will do a better job writing over there than she has over here!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

2010-04-27T16:38:00.003-04:00

No. That's not Lexi growling. Its me, Lexi's Momma Cilly.

I would probably have more time to update her blog today if I didn't discover someone with what - Japanese? Chinese? anyway - NOT ENGLISH spamming her comments section with UGH yucky stuff.

So, I deleted what I could find. What is infuriating about it, is they desecrated Destiny's blog too. Do some people have no shame?

OMD... No posties since my barkday?

2009-12-03T09:16:00.005-05:00

Wowzers! Gosh me and Momma waz buzy this fall!

Letz see if I can recap what happened since I barked at you last....

After my barkday, Momma and I went for lots of walks down to Otter Ponds...

We went to the farm alot with Derby, we climbed a mountain, and we did alot of playing.

Momma sayz she has to update her piktures so I can show ya'll what we did.

But for now, I just wanted to shake my paw and say hi ya'll and I will be barking at you more often - I will make sure of it!

Love and Licks!
Lexi

Its my BarkDay!!!

2009-08-27T11:02:00.001-04:00

WOOF WOOF!

It me and Momma's birthdays! Because Momma doesn't really know when I was born, and I can't remember - we are celebrating our birthdays together today!!

I already got a cool toy from Nana - and Momma sayz there is more to come.

I told Momma all I want for my Barkday is for her to update my bloggie - I got tons and tons of stuff to show and tail!!!

Bark at cha later!!

Lexi!

2009-08-24T15:09:00.001-04:00

Momma's been slackin!

2009-07-28T18:35:00.009-04:00

I don't beg much - but when I do - I beg Momma to update my bloggie! Summer is slipping away. Its been raining ALOT around here though - ruining our fun!

Momma said we have lots of adventures planned for August. We are going to our friend Joannes Summer Slam paw-ty! She holds it every year to benefit the animal shelter - Destiny and Momma went last year and had a blast.

And then Momma told me some paw-some news! We are going to go on a boat!! We've been invited to Freddie's annual Clambake out on Little Chebeague Island! Momma said that she and Destiny went last year, and had SO much fun. She can hardly wait to see the fun I have. I can't wait either!!!

Its been really rainy - so me and Momma are going through old photo's and she is telling me about the adventures her and Destiny had. She said the last summer Destiny was here, was the best summer ever - they did alot of great stuff together.

This is my sissy Destiny - she is on Freddys boat. Momma sayz I get to go this year!!

Momma said that when the boat went fast, Destiny felt safer sitting with Freddy! I can't wait to go fast on the boat!

OMD - LOOK! Its an ALIEN!!! Momma sayz we eat these things!!!

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!! Its a Sea Monster!!!! WOOF! WOOF!!!

No Lexi, its just our friend Freddy being silly!

How long til we get to go Momma?

Be patient Lexi... its not for a few more weeks...

How long is that? Momma? How Long?

Believe me Lexi - Don't rush.... life goes by fast enough Little One..

*sigh*
I guess I will just take a nappy and hope it comes soon.

Lexi and Derby's BIG day OUT!

2009-07-06T22:06:00.003-04:00

WOOFS and Lickies!!

Hi every puppy!!

I live in Maine now, and I'm not too sure about this weather! Itz rained here for 26 days in June! Mez and Derbyz was so bored!

FINALLY this weekend we got some good weather, and Momma and Puppa took us out to play - here is our slide show of our big day out! Enjoy!!

4th of July and Thunderboomies

2009-07-06T21:35:00.003-04:00

Woof Every doggie!

I hopes all youz pupz had a good 4th of July weekend! I know some of you doggies get skeerd of the boomies and X-plo-shuns. Momma said that Sistah Destiny used to get weely weely skeerd. Good thing for Momma - Iz a brave pup, and I don't mind the loud boomies at all. I stayed with Derby on the 4th while Momma and Puppa went to see the firewurks.

Momma would like to let you know some advice she got from some friends on facebook on what to do about skeerd pups in thunder-boomie storms and firewurks... hope this advice helps woo doggies!

Here is the conversation from Facebook!

Amy Drouin I HATE the 4th of July just because of the fireworks and my 2 big shivering German shepherds...they are wide eyed and scared out of their minds. Poor guys, I hope they stop soon

I agree, our 2 dogs and daughter hate them also, along with thunderstorms.

Leigh Parisi at 11:09pm July 3

Have you tried Bach's Rescue Remedy? Love that stuff! It helps ease the dogs stress with storms and fireworks.

Ian Brierley at 11:09pm July 3

What is that Leigh?

Ian Brierley at 11:09pm July 3

What is that Leigh?

Leigh Parisi at 11:11pm July 3

I give it to my dogs during storms. It's a flower essence. You put a few drops in their mouth every 15 minutes or so. You can buy it at Whole Foods or any health food store.

Ian Brierley at 11:12pm July 3

I will have to get some and try it..long shot here:) Does it work on kids under 5:)lol..kidding.

Leigh Parisi at 11:13pm July 3

LOL! Don't laugh.. It's actually a stress reliever for people too!

Ian Brierley at 11:14pm July 3

LoL, umm, have to read the fine print i guess.

Leigh Parisi at 11:18pm July 3

It's not like sedation, but it takes the edge off. I've recommended to a few other dog parents who now swear by it during storms. We've had enough of those lately!

Ian Brierley at 11:20pm July 3

I will have to look inot it, sounds fairly innocent for pets, I will ask our Vet about it, but I appreciate the info, on it:)

Leigh Parisi at 11:34pm July 3

Don't count on your vet being entirely gung ho unless their into natural methods. Don't get me started there ! I wish they wold come to realize, like some have, that traditional medicine can be complimented by natural.

Ian Brierley at 11:35pm July 3

I have a good friend that is into that sort of stuff also, she is a graduate vet student- something, I will ask her first before our vet.

Lisa Patnaude at 3:59am July 4

There's also something called an anxiety wrap that may help. You can also use a snug fitting tshirt - http://www.petabbey.com/store-products-Pet-Herbal-Remedies-ap-anxiety-wrap-for-dogs-cats-The-Original-Anxiety-Wrap-for-Dogs-and-Cats_34029985.html

Amy Drouin at 9:41am July 4

You won't believe it, but I use the snug fitting Tshirt on my dogs during every storm and it really helps a LOT. The dogs (& wolves) natually pull towards tention, like new dogs on a leash for the first time, they pull away from it because they are affraid. If they wear a Tshirt I usually loop the bottom up into a knot on their backs so it's snug, Ruger had one on last night and he fell right to sleep almost as soon as I put it on him...try it out!

Jennifer Faust Biedrzycki at 10:20am July 4

poor ally climbs in the bathtub. i agree! :)

Priscilla Hansen at 11:00am July 4

Wow - I wish I knew about these methods when Destiny was alive - I would have done anything to get her to stop shaking - I swore she would die of a heartattack during a thunderstorm! Lexi doesnt seem to be phased by T-storms at all - which is so good! (probably because Amy is so awesome at giving them a good start!)

Amy Drouin at 11:01pm July 4

awwwww, thank you sooo much! You don't know how good that makes me feel XXOO Happy 4th Priscilla, give Lil' Lexi a big kiss from her foster family iin CT.

So there you go - some advice from my foster-mommy Amy!!! WOOF WOOF - LICK LICK - Love you Amy!!

Wild Goose (or deer... maybe it was a rabbit) CHASE!!

2009-06-30T19:42:00.006-04:00

Hello every doggie!

Momma isn't too pleased with me right now. She sayz Iz in the "dog house".... isn't that where doggies are supposed to be?

First off... I ate our remote control. I've watched Momma use it a million times, and I was getting bored watching animal planet while Momma was out earning the kibble... so I thought I might try to change the channels myself....

When I saw how upset Momma was... I was really really sorry....

Momma was just happy that I was ok, and I didn't hurt myself. She said the bat-a-rees could have made me sick! I didn't know that! No more animal planet for me I guess....

So today was a new day, and Momma said she was tired of the rain, and she said to me no matter what the weather, we would go for walkies. OMG! Walkies?!?!? Its been raining SO much here - it rained 26 days in June! Can woo beeweeve that? But Momma promised no matter what - we would have walkies today.

So she was working the comp-poo-ter... and I kept reminding her - walkies! walkies! walkies! Everytime she got up from her desk, I would do zoomies around the living room, and go crazy! FINALLY she got the hint... and it wasn't raining! YAY!!

So we headed off to Otter Ponds. Momma makes me wear a leash through the neighborhood til we get to the path - then its safe to go off leash - its all woods - lots and lots and lots of woods.

We finally got to the power lines, and this is where Momma wishes I could talk and tell her what I saw that made me run into the woods. Well, silly Momma, I can talk - you just need to listen!!

I saw a beautiful creature - it looked like a dog, but it was more beautiful, and when I ran towards it - it ran! at LIGHTENING speed! OH! Joy! something to chase! And I ran straight into the woods... I ran, and I ran - chasing the woodland creature - bounding and running and running and runn..... OMD... where am I?

I ran so far into the woods, I couldn't find my way back! I was skeered! I know Momma was looking for me ... I could hear her, but I couldn't tell where she was... and she told me she stayed for an hour looking through the woods trying to find me. She didn't have good shoes on, and she fell in the mud. She said she was really upset for coming out in the woods without her phone. What an ordeal!

LEXI!!!! LEXI!!!! WHERE ARE YOU PUP!!?!?! COME ON GIRL!! LEXI!!!!!

She finally had to give up looking for me and go back to the house - it was a long walk, and she ran almost all the way. She got Chuck (our neighbor) and the kids and Bruce to come look for me. She called her sister Becky, and she called Mike who said they would come as fast as they could to come look.

Momma changed her muddy clothes and grabbed her phone. She jumped in the truck to look for me. JD was on his bike, Chuck was in the van with Alex and Bruce. Everyone went in all sorts of different directions and the search began.

Meanwhile, I found my way back through the woods, and hey! This looks familiar! YES! This is the path that me and Momma walk on!!! So I ran as fast as I could back the way we had came! Momma! I'm coming!!! Where are you Momma?!?!

I saw the boy (JD) on a bike - he was yelling at me - I didn't want to stop - I was running for home - follow me!!! He called my Momma and said he spotted me, but I was too fast - I ran past through the woods - I need to find my Momma!!! Moooooooommmmmmaaaa!!!

LEXI!!! LEXI!! WHERE ARE YOU!!?!?!

Momma found JD who said he just saw me.... and then she called Chuck. When they figured out the direction I was running - there was only one place I could be....

HOME.

Thats where they found me!

Momma hugged me and kissed me and told me to never scare her like that again! She said that its going to be awhile before I can go off leash again. I don't know.. I think it will be a while before I run off like that again, I haven't been able to leave Mommas side since.

What an adventure! I ate my supper, and Momma is patting me... I think I will take a little nap.. and dream about that mystical woodland creature - and chase it!... in my sleep.

WOOF!

My first camping trip!!

2009-06-23T08:48:00.008-04:00

WOOF WOOF every barky!

OMD - I have SO much to tell youz guyz! Better grab a chewie and get settled!

Momma, Mike, Derby and I went camping this weekend! It was so much fun! We went to Rangeley. Momma said she used to take Destiny there every year - and it was Destiny's favorite place in the world - and I can see why - its a doggie paradise!

First, we stopped in Mexico, Maine ... Mike wanted to take some funny pictures... doesn't he look silly???

Then we stopped at a place called Coo's Canyon.... it was really fun to walk around on the rocks...

And look what we found in the rocks...

Momma said we are going to go again in a couple weeks - I can hardly wait!!

Family Portraits

2009-06-13T09:23:00.007-04:00

Woof Woof!!

I haz lots to tell youz guyz!!

On Wednesday morning, I woke up, and Momma was hurrying around saying that she had to get clothes together, and stuff. You know - human stuff. So I went outside to scout around. And wow - what a great day - it was a little rainy, a little wet .... and there was so much mud to roll in!! So I got good and coated, rolling, rolling, sniffing, roll some more....

Whats this? Momma is calling me back to the house - better run!

What? What is a PicT-Shur? Why are you so upset Momma?

What do you mean I have to take a bath right now?

Well, come to find out, Momma, Mike, Derby and I had an App-point-MINT to have our PicT-Shurs taken at Joanne Lee Photography Studios. I wasn't too sure about this.... but I have to tell you.. Joanne was one super nice lady! She let us run around while Momma and Mike posed for PicT-Shurs.... then it was Me and Derby's turn!

Me and Derby were the stars of the show...

I tended to wiggle around alot, and really just wanted to sit in Joannes lap rather than take pictures, so there were more taken of Derby than me..

Isn't he handsome?

I really like that poem she added - thats exactly what Momma says that said exactly how she feels about us!

Momma said these are just the proofs and there will be more pictures coming soon - I can't wait to see them!

Lookie - Joanne writes a bloggie too!

http://www.joanneleephotoblog.typepad.com/

Momma sayz Iz so pretty I could be a movie stah and earn my own kibble... but for now, I believe there is a mud puddle with my name on it!

Woofs!!

Sorry, Lexi can't come out and play...

2009-05-31T17:51:00.003-04:00

She's grounded.

Yup. Lexi's been a naughty little pup. She started the weekend by chewing her collar. Yes, I did take it off because the jingling drives me crazy .. but she did get on the couch to get it.

Because she didn't have a collar, she had to "skip and go nekked" this weekend. This morning the sun actually came out (first time in days) and I decided to vaccuum Mike's floors and wash the kitchen floor. He had the pups upstairs in the office with him, so I could work dog-free.

Well, apparently, the dogs came downstairs without me noticing, and I had the door open to dry the floors - and you guessed it - they were footloose and fancy free.. for who knows how long.

A neighbor called animal control, and luckily Derby was wearing his tags ... and Mike got a call. He was surprised because he thought I had the dogs, and I was surprised because I thought the dogs were upstairs with him. So, our juvenile deliquent pooches were returned in a police car.

Luckily - no harm, no foul... and we went today and bought Miss Lexi a new collar, and she is leashed outside thinking about the fright she put into Momma.

So, sorry little pups... Lexi can't come out to play today... but she says she is very sorry. I can't stay mad at her for long... ;-)

I wish I knew how to use a kom-poo-ter

2009-05-19T12:07:00.009-04:00

Because then I could update my own bloggie and not wait for Momma to have time. She sayz that she is bee-zee working on her web-sight. I didn't know Momma was a spider and had a web! WOW.

She sayz its a wurk-in-prog-ress.

I think it looks good to me!

But what do I know... I'm just a pup..

But... guess what! Momma took me to Otter Ponds - and I finally learned to swim!! I used to just wade along the side... but I finally decided that I wanted to give that stick-fetching thing a try! Look at me go!

Look at me Momma! I'z swimmin'!!!

Ooof .. Ooooof... Iz needz to go back to shore now!

Well, until next time - stay cool all you poochies! I'll bark at cha soon!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Fur-babie Mommies!!

2009-05-10T09:02:00.012-04:00

Momma said its Mothers Day! She said its mostly for humans. I think Mommies of Fur-babies need special reck-cog-knit-shun too.

We are going to the farm so Mommy can see her Mommy. I love going to the farm. We go almost every Sunday because we can run and play there... here are some pictures from last Sunday..

Come On Derb... last one to the pond is a rotten egg!

Mud? What Mud?
Someone's getting a bath tonight....

Don't worry Momma... we will wash off in here..
I love the farm... so many places to run, sniff and explore!!

I can't wait to go again!!!

For now... I will just wait here and nap with my stuffies...

Bark atcha later Pooches!!

I'm fine now!

2009-05-03T07:54:00.008-04:00

I woke Momma up this morning with eskie kisses and lickies and told her I feel much better today! All the swelling is gone, I ate a big breakfast and am ready to have fun today! Momma thinks I must have gotten stung by something... she is still confuzzled.

Momma was so concerned, she forgot to post the pictures of our last adventure to Otter Ponds..

So here we were .. just walking along...

Along the way we checked out lots of stuff...

Woo comin' Momma? She sure is slow!!

By the time we got to the Ponds the sun was setting! So we didn't stay long...

On the way back - I started growling.. I put my hackles up and kept looking at something on the ground... at first, Momma couldn't see what I was getting all wired up about.. until she saw this guy....

Momma praised me for not going and saying hello to him. She said he coulda bit my leg off! I can't beweeve sumfin so slow could be dangerous! But he was HUGE ... he was the size of a big turkey platter.... mmmm... turkey....

My mouff if swollwen

2009-05-02T17:49:00.003-04:00

Momma came home today (she left to go to a speech contest, she was only gone a few hours) and found me with my mouth swollen. She tried to take pictures to show you... but it doesnt really show in pictures.

She is really puzzled because there is nothing chewed or missing - and there are no bite marks from spiders, ticks or bugs that she can see...there's nothing wrong with my teeth or tongue... so she just gave me a baby aspirin and said she would keep an eye on me.

Any of woos ever get a swollwen face?

Otter Ponds

2009-04-25T13:14:00.007-04:00

Momma and I have been doing alot of walking lately... there is a nice path behind our house that goes to a place called Otter Ponds near Sebago Lake - its really fun there, theres places to swim, and lots to sniff and smell...

There are birds to watch....

There are smells to be sniffed....

and its fun to splash around in the water!

Its a fun place to go... Momma said she really appreciated that I was there with her today... well... where else would I be!?!

Let's get Rowdy!!!

2009-04-21T09:15:00.010-04:00

Woofs every doggie!!

My Auntie Becky sent Momma pictures of my playdate with Rowdy and Lewis! Rowdy is a 10 week old chocolate lab puppy that Auntie Becky just got for cousin Jeremy... and Lewis is a St. Bernard/Pointer mix that Auntie Becky rescued a couple years ago... they are my cousins and they are my bestest furends!!

Why are you chewing on a bottle little pup?

RAWR!! You may be big, but I am fast!

Hey! We have the same tail!!

Mmmmm... water!

I like him Momma - He's little!!!

Oh... Just wait a few months Lexi... he will get MUCH bigger than you! But I have a feeling you will still be boss of him. hee hee.

Watching Chickens

2009-04-16T14:28:00.005-04:00

Heeewooo all woo doggies!

One of my new favorite things to do is watch chickens from the porch. I am up high so they don't know I am watching them. I saw snoopy do this once on a cartoon pretending he was a vulture...

Aww Momma... youz made too much noize... now I haz to start all over again...

It's a tough job... but somebodies gotz to do it....

Getting ACK-LIM-ATE-ED

2009-04-11T14:55:00.004-04:00

Thats what Momma says I'm doing - getting ACK-LIM-ATE-ED.... sounds yummy.

I really have been enjoying my new home! I love spending time with Derby - he and I are bestest of fur-ends!! Mike takes us to the dog park, and we'z gets all sorts of attention from the other dog-pops and mas because we'z so cute!

Momma has been very bee-zee - she says she is trying to build up enough KLY-ANTS to pay for my kibble. She iz a life coach. Izn't it funny - humans need coaches for their lives? We doggies just need to play, eat, sleep and poop!! Hee hee... we dontz need coaches for that! But Momma sayz that hoomans are more COMP-Plick-K8-ED... Ya.. I can see that... but that means Momma will always have a job.

- she will take lots of pix of me tomorrow - Derby and I are going to the farm for Easter!! YAY!

Rainy Sunday ...

2009-03-30T11:03:00.013-04:00

Yesterday was a rainy day. Mike did take me and Derby for a short walk... but we mostly played inside...

I chewed on my rope...

After my nap, Derby and I had a great game of "bitey-face".....

All in all - it was a really great day. Momma and I took Mike and Derby home. Huh. I thought they lived here, but Momma said that Mike and Derby have their own house. I slept in my bed last night like a big girl!

Its raining again today, but tomorrow Momma said its going to be sunny, and she is taking me to the farm after my appointment with Dr. D.

Catch you doggies later!

First night home

2009-03-29T08:12:00.014-04:00

Hi all you doggies!

Last night, after my nap, Momma, Mike and Derby and me went for a walk to the end of the street. Momma said there is a nice trail there, but we couldn't walk it yet because its too muddy... maybe after the snow melts away.

Momma took some pictures of me and Derby playing... it was FUN!

After romping around in the field, we walked home....

And we met Bruce again

I had a really good night - I slept beside Momma's bed. The only mischief I got in is I chewed one of her weight lifting gloves... but to be fair, it was on the floor, with all my toys... so I didn't know. Momma said she wasn't mad... she was the one who left it there.

More adventures to come! It's raining today - boo... but hopefully we can get out and play later!

I'm HOME!!!

2009-03-28T16:32:00.008-04:00

Hi all you doggies!!

Its me - Lexi! And I have had quite a day! I met my new Momma today, and Mike and Derby!

It was sad leaving my foster Mom, Amy... but I am so grateful for all that she did for me. She saved my life by taking me in. I came from a high-kill shelter in GA. She provided me ALOT of love, snuggles and a safe home. Cilly, my new Momma said she can tell I was deeply loved because I am SO snuggly.

It was a long drive home ....

Are we there yet?????

Once we got home, I got to meet Bruce, and the chickens. I did chase the chickens - that was fun! I wasn't gonna hurt 'em... I just wanted to check them out - and it was fun when they all ran away.

I was really hungry when I got home, so Momma gave me some supper.... and Derby was real nice and shared....

After eating, I decided to take a nap.... its been quite a day!

TODAY IS THE BIG DAY I GET MY LITTLE DOG!

2009-03-28T07:17:00.003-04:00

I'm getting my coffee, getting dressed, and getting ready for a two hour drive down to Mass to pick up Lexi!!!!

I will have her post something and some pictures when we get back - its going to be an exciting day!

Please Don't Buy While Beautiful Shelter Dogs Die...

Hi Everydoggie!!

I need your help. I have entered into an international speech contest for Toastmasters. The rules of the contest is the speech must be motivational, with a powerful message... so I naturally thought of this topic.

I would like to hear about success stories from you doggies. Were you saved by your fur-ever families? How were you found? What was your background? What was life like for you before your fur-ever family found you, and whats it been like since?

As you know, Lexi was saved by Echo Dogs White Shepard rescue.... to think someone discarded this little cutie!! Destiny also came from a shelter, and we all know how wonderful she was, and how many lives she touched....

Tell me your tails!!! You might end up in my speech and motivate other people to skip the breeders and head straight for the shelters!

XOXO~ belly rubs and snuggles!!
Cilly
