Lexis 9th Bday

Have I mentioned we have the best dog EVER??! We really do. She has always been a wonderful dog. I got her when she was a puppy and lived with my Dad. My Dad definitely has a soft spot in his heart for her bc he helped me train her. He even used to take her to work with him every day when I was in school so she didn't have to stay in a kennel all day. Talk about spoiled! 

Eric and I started dating right around her first birthday, so he attended Lexi and Chloe's "1st Birthday party." I know, we were silly! Ever since then, he's considered her his dog. She moved with us to New York for a year and survived life in a 650 sq ft apartment while we left her to work all day. Im pretty sure she was not sad to leave NYC though, bc this girl loves to run and play frisbee! 

Once we started having kids, she obviously moved down the totem pole a little bit. But it's never stopped her from joining in on whatever we're doing every day. She loves the boys, and they "love" her in their own way too. Gavin used to use her as a pillow all the time as a baby. He loved to crawl to her dog bed and snuggle. I even caught him feeding Lexi treats one day when he was playing in the pantry! I couldn't help but laugh! Now Crew does pretty much all the same things. They are obsessed with playing on her dog bed, and Crew has started using Lexi as his step stool to get on the couch! 

This year she turns 9, and in dog years that's retirement age. Im hoping we've got several more years with this girl though bc my "Bun" is like my daughter! Im sure I dont tell her enough how wonderful of a dog she is, but she knows we all love her dearly! Happy 9th Birthday Lex!
