Hi Friends

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

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

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 !

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

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

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 !

This is Casey

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

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.
