Merry Christmas

2010-12-25T09:42:00.000-08:00

It's Christmas morning and we have opened all of our presents. I got a lot of stuff this year. My favorite toys are the squeaky balls that my sister got for me. I have never had rubber balls that were so squishy and easy to bite before.......I love them.
My (human) uncle and my cousins came over for Christmas Eve dinner last night. My mom put the gate up for a while and I could not get to them. After they ate and mom put all of the chocolate away they took the gate down. I went crazy greeting everyone. My uncle does not like dogs so much so I wanted his attention the most. I could not leave him alone. I had a great time. My cousins have 2 big dogs at their house so they did not seem to mind too much when I sat in their laps.
This is my other Christmas dress. I like it better than my red one because it is stretchy and comfy. I will probably wear it all day today. Mom is making a ham so I can't wait for that. I'm sure she will give me some.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas !!!!!!!

Napping Under the Christmas Tree

2010-12-21T22:31:00.000-08:00

My mom caught me while I was napping (which isn't hard to do) for this picture. It's been raining here for days and I don't get my walks in every day...so I have to nap more than usual.

This is one of my new Christmas dresses. My other one is black velvet. This one is all sparkly.....my mom loves sparkles. I heard my mom say that some of those presents under the tree are mine. I can't wait to see what they are. I hope I get some new stuffies because I have unstuffed and ripped up my old ones. I wouldn't mind a Bully stick or two either. I love those things. I don't think my mom is going to take me to see Santa Claus this year. Even with all the training I've had when I get around new humans I go crazy.......I love to see new humans!!!

Happy Summer

2010-07-10T19:32:00.001-07:00

Hi friends.....I hope you are all having a fun summer. I love having my boy home everyday to play with me ( in between my napping). He went to an arcade and got me this huge tennis ball with some of his tickets. I love chasing it around the house, but I just can't get my mouth around it. I don't know if you can tell but I got my first haircut a few weeks ago. They trimmed all of my fringes off. My family thought it would help with all the shedding I do ......but I don't think it worked. My mom has to vacuum every day to keep up with all of my hair flying around.

My mom does not seem to be working on my blog at all lately......I don't know why. Maybe I can talk her into it again. This year she has been trying to prepare mostly organic food and has been spending more time cooking (she does not like to cook) than she did before. Maybe that's why. I hope you have a great summer.

Hi Friends

2010-04-05T21:17:00.000-07:00

Hi friends, I have not been doing much lately..........just taking a lot of naps. Well that's not really all but nothing too exciting to post about. I love that it's Spring Break and most of my family are home this week (except my dad.......he has to work). It rained here today and I really like the rain. It is so fun to catch raindrops in your mouth and to play in the mud. My mom seems to be unhappy when I leave muddy paw prints everywhere.

A cat came by to visit tonight. I was napping by the siding glass door...I opened my eyes and there it was......a cat. Of coarse I went crazy and was barking uncontrollably. Mom would not let me outside to see it.......she thought I might hurt it because I was so excited. After mom saw that it was farther away she let me out and I started barking louder....I think it left our yard.......too bad....I just wanted to be friends. My family thinks I am a great barker.

Lexi's First Birthday

2010-02-19T19:30:00.000-08:00

My birthday cake was so yummy.......my mom made it for me. It tasted like peanut butter but mom said it had other stuff in it that was good for me like carrots. I got to eat it all by myself. It was really little even though it looks big in the picture.
This is my new birthday dress. Mom thought I needed a black dress and pearls for my birthday.

Mom made it for me because they don't sell dresses for Golden Retrievers.
I got some stuffies (my favorite) for my birthday. I really like the soccer ball. It is nice and soft with a squeaker inside. I was happy to get my new Wubba bunny because I already tore apart the one that I had in my last video. My girl picked out all my birthday stuffies for me.

Another reason I had a great birthday was that my boy came home from a 4 day school camp in the mountains and I really missed him.

Rainy Days

2010-01-19T13:26:00.000-08:00

The last two days it has been rainy and cold here. Today there was even thunder and lightening. I didn't like that thunder at all and I let it know (barking is one of the things I do best). But most of the day I just sleep (another thing I am really good at). I don't get to nap in dad's chair very often..........but he's at work so it's all mine.

Embarrassing Moment !

2010-01-13T20:36:00.000-08:00

This picture is so embarrassing I don't even know what to say. I can't believe my mom took this picture of me . This is not my best side. I usually sit like this in the chair before I get comfortable....I'm not sure why.....but now the world knows............thanks mom.

First Grooming

2010-01-09T13:03:00.000-08:00

I got groomed today for the first time (I have been there to have my nails trimmed...but that's all). Mom usually gives me a bath but she thinks I am getting too big. The truth is mom did not want to leave me at the groomers. She made them put me in a run (I don't like kennels anymore) while I was waiting to be groomed. She is kinda weird like that. She wanted to take a picture of me there but when I was going in I had my brakes on and I guess it didn't look too good. When I was coming out I was in a hurry to leave so she couldn't get one then either. I was so happy to see my mom and my boy.

New Monkey Stuffie

2010-01-04T21:00:00.000-08:00

I got a new monkey stuffie yesterday (I know...Christmas just got over but my girl got it for me for Valentine's Day..... but she said she couldn't wait to give it to me). I really love it but I wish my mom had taken the picture yesterday. Because today it doesn't look so good. I kind of ripped one of its arms a little.
My mom couldn't believe how long I sat still and posed for the pictures. I am usually running with my stuffie in my mouth and squeaking it at the same time or just trying to tear it apart. My family thinks I am wild and crazy sometimes.

Happy New Year Friends !

2009-12-31T12:15:00.000-08:00

This is Casey

2009-12-29T10:03:00.000-08:00

Hi friends. This is Casey. She is the doggie that lived with my family for 17 years before I came to live with them. She was a Golden Cocker and Poodle mix. My dad always thought she looked like a little Golden Retriever when her hair was shorter. She was kind of more my dad's dog. She was a little mean and mom did not like that part. They had another doggie named Lady for a little while.....I will ask mom to find a picture of her.

My First Christmas

2009-12-25T16:12:00.000-08:00

My Christmas Day started out by mom putting my sweater on me. After she saw the look on my face she took it off and never put it back on.
This was my first present.....I didn't know what to do with it so I ran outside with it and just sat there for a while. They never let me have paper to shred so I was a little confused.
This is after I got the hang of opening presents. I had a great time after that.
This is one of my new stuffies. A "Chewy Vuitton" purse that my girl got me.
I am guarding some of my new toys. My rabbit stuffie has a squeaker in it that sounds like a duck. I really like my teddy bear Wubba.
This is my dad holding me and my rabbit stuffie (he is the only one that can lift 60 lbs). I guess he is making a funny face because I am pretty big and wiggly.
Note from Lexi's mom: These are the treats that were wrapped up but she ate them so fast that I could not get a picture (except for the cupcake that she ate earlier). I think Lexi had a fun FIRST Christmas. Having her made our Christmas even more special.

I saw Santa Claus today !!!

2009-12-20T18:05:00.000-08:00

I finally got to see Santa Claus today. Thanks to a kind visitor to my blog named Molly. She suggested that we go to PetSmart. Mom doesn't know why she didn't think of that herself.....she goes there all the time. Today was the last day Santa was going to be there so we got lucky. I went with my mom and my boy. There were two big Dobermans in line before me and they were pretty nice. Most of the other doggies were little. Santa let the little doggies sit in his lap but the Dobermans and I had to sit on the floor in front of Santa.

My New Christmas Dress and Reindeer Antlers

2009-12-17T21:35:00.000-08:00

This is me in my new Christmas dress. Mom says I will be wearing it on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Mom says it is usually warm on Christmas so I might not wear it for long.
These are my reindeer antlers......they blink. I am not so crazy about them but I kept them on while mom was taking my picture. Right after that I shook them off. I wanted to chew on them a while but mom took them away from me.
My dad feels sorry for me that mom puts all these silly clothes on me. Mom says that she dressed her cats up when she was a little girl and I guess she never outgrew it. I have not gotten to see Santa Claus yet. Mom can't find one that takes pictures with puppies.....only kids......she's still looking.

FAKE STUFFIE !!!!!!!!

2009-12-13T19:22:00.000-08:00

My mom went shopping today and came home with a new stuffie for me. Stuffies are my favorite toys. I love to rip them apart to get the squeaker out and of coarse the stuffing.
I had never seen this guy before but he looked like a stuffie.
He squeaked like a stuffie. He was a little harder than my usual stuffies.

Can you believe it. A stuffie with no stuffing. I thought there was something different about him. Of all the nerve mom !!! Maybe Santa Claus will bring me a REAL stuffie for Christmas. I think I have been pretty good this year (well............ I am only 9 months old !).

Getting ready for Christmas

2009-12-08T22:19:00.000-08:00

My mom put the Christmas Tree up a few days ago and I was getting so excited to play with it.........then she put up a fence around it. She thinks I might eat it and the ornaments. She's right...that's just what I had in mind. I wonder if one of those presents is for me?
This is me on the new wood floor. My dad is putting it in himself on the weekends, so he just does one room at a time. I am getting the hang of running on wood............ but I like carpet better. My mom wanted green walls so now my whole house is slowly turning green. My mom thinks it looks happy.

I Still Need A Little Help Sometimes

2009-11-03T20:06:00.000-08:00

I really love to lay on my girl's bed but I still need help getting up on it like I did when I was younger. My family likes their new wood floors but they are slippery for me sometimes. I can't get enough traction to jump without slipping. Luckily my girl will help me up.

I try to give her my pitiful face so she will always help me.

Aw......finally I made it up.
Oh no....here she comes with some strange things to put on me.
I don't know what it is!!!
Ear muffs !!!!!!!!!!!
A spider headband with a vail and some black netting !!!!!! eek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy that my mom and dad still have carpet in their room (so far) and I can jump on their bed any time I want too. Even in the middle of the night with a big toy in my mouth ready to play.

My First Rain

2009-10-14T13:57:00.000-07:00

Hi Friends, I woke up this morning to a loud noise outside......so I started barking at it...but it didn't go away. My mom open the back door for me to go outside as usual but there was water falling everywhere (I don't really like water too much).
I usually run outside but not today...I just sat and looked at all that water. Was I going to get a bath (I don't like baths).....I wasn't sure.

My mom and to give me a little push to get outside.
I couldn't believe my eyes............there was water everywhere. My mom said it was RAIN.
I was trying to catch some in my mouth...........not bad.
After a while I kind of liked it.....so I just in the grass to take it all in.

P.S.- I passed my Star Puppy and my Canine Good Citizen tests last weekend. I will show you my Star Puppy Medal when I get it. My mom sent for it in the mail.

My dad weighed me last night and I weigh 51 lbs. I can't believe I gained 10 pounds since my last post. My dad still holds me on his lap in the recliner though.

Hi Friends

2009-09-19T08:59:00.001-07:00

Hi Friends ! I am really sorry that I have not posted in so long. My mom is so lame and has not been helping me with my blog lately. I don't know what's wrong with her. Maybe now that school has started again she will start helping me. I finished my Doggie Manners class and now I am taking the Star Puppy class. I am the only one in the class because no one else showed up. I think I like it better when I have friends to play with in class. I went to see my Dr. the other day because my eye was bothering me ( it's OK now) and I weighed 41 pounds. My dad keeps saying that I am a small Golden but I am only 7 months old. I think I have more growing to do.

This is the new wood floor my dad is putting in our house. It is a little slippery to walk on but I am getting used to it.

I miss visiting all my friend blogs so hopefully we can do that soon. I have to keep my eye on mom. I hope all of my friends are doing great !

Love,

Post From Lexi's Mom

2009-08-12T16:51:00.000-07:00

Lexi had an operation yesterday (she got spayed) and she is not too comfortable today. When she got home last night from the Vet she would not eat or drink anything...I could not even give her the pain pill. The Vet said she had to wear the cone for 14 days but I think that is a little too long.........we will see how she does. This cone is a nice soft one not like the hard ones our other dog had to have. She woke up today with a big appetite. Her Vet said to feed her a soft diet for a few days (chicken and rice)........oh she is in heaven with that. I hope she will go back to eating dog food.
She was trying to take the cone off...I guess she had enough of it.
She is resting a lot today like she is supposed too. She has jumped on the sofa a few times when we were not looking. She doesn't want to sleep there ( I would let her) just sit for a few minutes and then jump down. She has a nice comfy bed but seems to prefer the ground.
She looks so sad with her little cone on. Don't they make pink cones? We like pink.

Helping My Dad

2009-08-08T22:28:00.001-07:00

My dad built this new desk for our office the past three weekends and put it in today. I didn't get to help him build it because he did that in the garage and I am not allowed out there. But I did get to help him put it in...........I don't think he could have done it without my help.
I am smelling the drill to make sure it is OK for him to use. It's really noisy......I don't like it much.
Here I am getting a screw to give him. I'm not sure if he liked me walking across his stomach.
This is me posing under the new desk.
We got it all done.............it was a lot of hard work but we did it.

Doggie Manners Class

2009-07-30T22:05:00.000-07:00

This picture of me was taken at my new doggie training called Doggie Manners. For some reason mom thinks I need more manners. I have only been there one time so far but I really like it. There are big doggies there.......not little puppies. There is one other puppy there...he is 7 months old. He is the white one with tan spots in the picture below.
This is two of my new friends from school and me having a group smell........we all seem to like each other. The lab's name is Koda and she is pretty nice. Sammy is my puppy friend. Sammy's mom used ham pieces for his training treats and he got tired of them so his mom gave them to me and my mom gave Sammy some of my treats. I had had never had ham before and I was CRAZY about it.

Note from Lexi's mom: Our sweet Lexi jumped on the dinning room table today.....boy were we surprised and I think she was too. She also tries to steal food off the counters quite regularly now. So that is why we though she might need a little more training or maybe we do. She already had puppy training. I guess her days of me lifting her on to the chair are over. We still think she is the sweetest puppy ever !!!!

New Blog awards !

2009-07-27T08:39:00.001-07:00

My friend Miley gave me this pretty "Kreative Blogger" award a little while ago but my mom has been a little slow posting about it. I'm not sure why.
My friend Subi gave me this nice "Honest Scrap" award. So I told my mom we need to post about these today ! Thank you both for sharing these awards with me. I love awards.

Now I am supposed to tell you 7 (for the 1st award) and 10 (for the 2nd award) things about myself. I am going to combine them and do it all at once.

1. I like to sleep on my back (my mom calls it spread eagle)

2. I like to bark a lot

3. I love to chew on the inside roll from the toilet paper (who doesn't)

4. I LOVE to ride in the car

5. I like to chew on weeds

6. I like to pose for pictures (that my mom is constantly taking of me)

7. I like to sleep in my kennel (I usually go in by myself when I get tired)

8. If mom drops some food on the floor while she is cooking, I can get it before she does (even if I am not in the same room)

9. I just started a new doggie training class called Doggie Manners (I guess I need more manners)

10.I do not like to take a bath........I think I smell fine)

Now I am supposed to share these awards with 7 (for the 1st) and 10 (for the 2nd) friends.

Here are the friends I am sharing with. I hope you don't have it already. If you don't have time to pass it on that's OK...please accept it anyway because you have a great blog.

I am sharing them both with: Bruschi, Angel, Lorenza, Snowy and Crystal, Bijou, Thor, Brutus,

Bell, Sierra Rose, and Lucy.

Now I am off to let my friends know they have an award waiting for them. Have a fun day.

My Favorite Toy !

2009-07-25T12:01:00.001-07:00

This is my toy box... it is full of fun toys. I also have other toys around the house and outside. My mom can't figure out why this is my favorite toy !

A cap. I love caps. Caps to hair spray, spray paint, my dad's shaving cream.....any cap will do.
They are so fun to chew on. I was throwing this one around the kitchen this morning and mom said it looked like I was playing hockey. I'm not sure what hockey is but I was having a fun time.
The great thing about caps is I dig them out of the trash and run .....and someone usually chases me.....I love that too.

Frosty Paws

2009-07-21T16:08:00.001-07:00

My mom and I were reading Golden Samantha's blog and we saw that she had a yummy cold treat. My mom went looking for something like that for me because it has been so hot here. The only thing she found was "Frosty Paws". My mom said it is doggy ice cream. As soon as she and my boy got home from the store they gave it to me...........I took the cup and ran. How exciting something cold and tasty all for me...I took it in my kennel so I could be alone with it.

It was so good I just couldn't stop eating it. It took me a while because it was so cold. Mom was trying to take pictures of me but I couldn't be bothered....I was in heaven. Mom said she was surprised that I didn't eat the paper cup too.

A Visit to the Vet

2009-07-20T10:59:00.000-07:00

I went to see Dr. Zempo today. She said I was getting to be a big girl...I weigh 34 pounds today and I am 5 months old. I was there for my pre-spay appointment... whatever that is. All I know is I got to met some new friends.
This is Shooter......he is a 4 year old Golden. He was really calm and he like to "shake" (hands/paws) a lot. My mom and boy though that was so cute.
I didn't catch this kitty's name but I don't think he liked me so much, I think I scared him a little because I was so excited to be there.
This is Johnathon... he is a long haired Doxie. We really liked each other. I could have played with him all day. His mom said that he thinks he is a big dog.
This is me waiting to get my nails clipped. They seem to do that every time I am there. It feels pretty good after they do it but I am not crazy about having it done. I also got some big rawhide chewy things.....I really like them. Mom did not want me to have rawhide because she thought it was bad for me but these are some special ones that my Doctor said were good. I had a fun time at the Vet's today.

I Need A Little Lift Sometimes

2009-07-16T08:45:00.000-07:00

This is the chair by mom's work table. I like to sit in it sometimes because it is so comfy. I can not quite get in it by myself (hahaha). So I jump on it half way ......then I turn around and give mom a look so she knows to help me up. Mom lifts me the rest of the way into the chair.
Then I like to take a nice little nap. I'm not sure how long this will work for me but it's working good now. I guess mom doesn't notice that I can jump onto the sofa (to get in some ones lap) from half way across the room if I am in the mood.

Is it Halloween ?

2009-07-11T17:29:00.000-07:00

I heard my mom and my girl talking about Halloween and wearing costumes......so today must be Halloween. My mom put my tutu on me again (which is not so big for me anymore) and she added some fairy wings....so this must be a costume and today must be Halloween.
As you can see from the look on my face I am not happy about this costume thing. My dad was not happy about it either, he felt sorry for me.
Then I thought.......... this might not be so bad and I started chewing on it..... pretty tasty. Then mom took it right off of me. I will remember that for next Halloween. Happy Halloween !

~Morning Sunbathing~

2009-07-10T16:43:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite things to do in the morning is to lay in the sun. I like it when it is still cool outside but the sun is shinning on me. Later in the day when it is hot I like to be inside.

Of coarse my mom is taking pictures of me again.......even when I am sunbathing!!!

Love those bones !

2009-07-08T09:32:00.000-07:00

This is me laying quietly while my family ate dinner on the 4th of July........before I knew what bones were.
After they were done my dad gave me a bone.........oh boy.....I didn't know what it was but I took it and ran outside.....I had to keep looking back to make sure they were not following me (just in case they wanted to take this treasure back).
I wrestled with it for a while. After I figured out it was not going to get away from me.....I layed down and relaxed a little and chewed on it for about an hour mom says.
When it got really small mom took it away from me because she said it was too sharp......but that's ok....I got the best of it.

Happy 4th of July !

2009-07-04T16:43:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July ! I think my mom gave up on the bows and got me a bandana.....I like it much better....I hardly know I have it on. I heard my mom say she was going to make me a pink one with lace on it or something like that..........we'll see. My dad is going to BBQ today and I heard there might be some bones I can chew on.....I have never had a bone......I am very excited about anything I can chew on. I am going to ask my mom to take pictures of me and my bones. I'll let you know if I like them.

Worn out from blogging !

2009-06-30T13:06:00.000-07:00

I was laying on my boy's bed today doing a little blogging and I got so tired I could hardly hold my eyes open. So.................I took a little nap ........his bed is so comfy. But when I woke up there was no one in the room but me, so I started barking (I haven't quite leaned how to jump off the bed yet...it seems so far down). Mom came to help me.....she put the ottoman next to the bed and I could get off it by myself. I know what you' re thinking....oh she is a big puppy she should be able to jump off the bed .............well all I can say is..... I am working on it.

Lexi meets Violet (her best friend)

2009-06-27T08:51:00.000-07:00

This post is being written by Lexi's mom because she is still too excited to blog about it. Last night Lexi got to meet Violet, she is a 4 year old Golden. She will be Lexi's best friend because Lexi's girl and Violet's girl (Violet has 2 girls) are friends and will have the dogs together for walks etc..... Lexi was so excited when she saw Violet she could not contain herself (usually she only gets excited for humans not other dogs too much). We think she thought Violet was her furry mom.
They played and went crazy for a long time and I could not even get a photo. They both had bows on when they met but they soon went flying off.
This was a while after they had calmed down a bit.
Lexi had to give Violet a good sniff to see who she really was.
Here they are both waiting for treats being on their best behavior.

Father's Day ~ Dog Park

2009-06-21T19:21:00.000-07:00

Happy Father's Day to all the human and furry dad's. (Happy Father's Day to my grandpa if you're reading my blog). We had a fun day today. I went to my first Doggie Park today with my dad and my boy. That's why there are no pictures of me there. My mom takes all of my pictures. So I will just tell you that I had a great time. I hope we go again. I was so tired when we got home so I took a little nap.
Mom thought I might be a little dirty from the park so in the tub I went. Mom gave me a bath by herself so she had a hard time taking pictures. This is not my best side.
This is me trying to escape.....I don't really like baths !!
It wasn't so bad when it was all done and I smelled really good....but I don't look very happy here. Then of all the nerve I got my ears cleaned too. Oh yeah........I got blow dried today too..........that's a lot of wind.

I Got My Last Puppy Shots Today !

2009-06-20T14:27:00.000-07:00

I got my last shots today and I am so excited because now mom says I can go out into the world. Maybe the park.......maybe a doggie beach.......maybe anywhere !! My mom and boy got me these new toys today. Pink and black...mom's favorite colors. I think they got them for me because they felt bad that I had to get shots. But I really don't care what the reason is because I love new toys to play with.

Me & My Boy ~ 1st day of Summer

2009-06-19T08:57:00.001-07:00

This is the 1st morning of summer (yesterday) for my boy and me. Mom put a blanket on the sofa so I can go on it. Dad doesn't really want me on the sofa but mom lets me sit on it. I love laying there with my boy.......well for a little while.
I love giving my boy big sloppy kisses.

I also like bitting his hair........he doesn't like that as much......I'm not sure why.
The rest of the day we played, I napped, I stayed home with my girl for a while when my mom and boy went on errands and then I went to puppy training. I am learning how to take walks and not be distracted by anything. It is so hard when you have to walk past other puppies , big doggies and humans (and even treats)...........but I am working on it. My trainer said I did a good job.

Me and Bubbles

2009-06-18T07:38:00.001-07:00

Yesterday my boy blew some bubbles for me in my backyard. I had never seen bubbles before and I was not sure what to do with them.
But I figured out pretty fast that they were great fun.......
I was trying to catch every one........but they kept getting away from me......
After a while I was popping a lot of them in my mouth...what fun !! Mom say's the pictures are a little blurry because I never stopped running and jumping and she had a hard time following me with the camera.
I love bubbles !!

PICKING UP MY BOY

2009-06-16T16:21:00.000-07:00

Mom took me with her today to pick up my boy from school. Tomorrow is his last day of school and I am so excited because then he will be home with me every day (until school starts again).

We can play, go on walks and mom says I can go to the park after my last shots on Saturday.
We waited a long time and still no boy.
Mom brought some nice cold water for us to drink because it was warm in the car.
Finally I see my boy.......I am so happy !!!!!!

Sunday Afternoon Nap

2009-06-14T15:58:00.000-07:00

I was taking a nice Sunday afternoon nap on my new bed.....

This is me now !

This is how I look now. My mom took these pictures yesterday. She says I am growing really fast. My family doesn't hold me as much as they used to......I guess I am getting too big for that (20lbs). But they still pet me and play with me all of the time. I like to sit with my boy on the sofa when no on else is looking and my dad lets me sit in the recliner with him in the morning. My mom says I can sleep on my boys bed (or my mom and dad's) as soon as I can jump up there myself. I am still working on it.
This is one of my pink toys...a perfume bottle (dog toy). They really buy me a lot of toys and I notice they give me one right away when I am chewing on the furniture or their clothes........I love socks. I also love to rip paper up and if they forget to close the bathroom door the toilet paper is mine !

My First Bath

2009-06-07T10:55:00.001-07:00

This is me after my first bath . I was not crazy about it but I smelled really good when it was all done. It wore me out a little and I had to take a nap.

Me in my Pink Tutu

2009-06-07T10:37:00.000-07:00

This is me in my pink tutu. (This picture was taken in mid May.) My mom bought it for me. It's a little big for me........ I guess I will grow into it. She doesn't put it on me when my dad or my boy are home.

I really like it....it's really good to chew on, my mom is not happy about that part.

Hi......I'm Lexi

2009-06-07T09:41:00.003-07:00

I was born in California .......where I still live. These are some pictures of me on my first day home....which was April 19th 2009. My family held me a lot so I did not have to do much walking. I guess because they had not had a puppy in a long time and I am pretty cute. This is a picture of my boy holding me.
I slept a lot my first few days at home, in fact I still like to take my naps.

This is my dad holding me.
