Today is a big day for me and Lexi. Exactly six years ago today, I picked her up from the local SPCA. When I walked into the SPCA that day with my roommate at the time... we were just going to look around. But while just looking around, I saw a sweet scared black dog hovering in the corner of the cage while the other dog in the cage was barking and jumping around. I immediately felt something for that puppy and asked to take her out to see her. Upon spending a few minutes with that pup, I knew I had to take her home. She was so sweet and looked at me with those big eyes and looked so scared and nervous. After many phone calls with the parents and SPCA and with three anxious days of waiting... she was mine.
Without even really planning for it, I had adopted a 6 month old black dog with big ears and long legs... soon after her arrival that sweet, scared puppy from the SPCA broke out of her shell and Lexi as we know her emerged.
Over the years we have grown so much together. She's been there for everything... good times and bad. There's been many destroyed shoes, socks, reading glasses, consumed pork loins, chewed baseboards, and even walls... but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I couldn't imagine life without that little pup.
And now of course... photo montage of Lexi over the years!
She looks so young!
This was her favorite spot in Greenville... the backyard of the townhouse... can you count the number of stolen socks back there?
She did go to puppy school... and graduated top of her class!
At Barefoot on the Mall... awww.
Like I said... many destroyed belongings.
We learned last year how much she loves snow!
Happy 6 Year Anniversary Lexi!
