Lexi was adopted from a shelter as a puppy so I had her for all of her short life. She was the most precious little dog. I got Lexi to keep my other dog Samson company. In the beginning Samson wanted no part of her but slowly they became best buds. Lexi had the most peculiar quirks, she would bark and snap at the rake, snow shovel and leaf blower. Not sure why, if it moved she tried to stop it. When Samson crossed over, I decided to get a cat for Lexi. Simba loved Lexi, the two would cuddle together but sometimes Lexi just couldn't be bothered. I'll never forget the two of them chasing a chipmunk, they didn't catch it but the bugger was exhausted. Three years ago, vets wanted me to put Lexi down. She had Lyme disease and it was effecting her kidneys. I said no and I'm so glad I did. With antibiotics and herbal kidney meds, she got better. Time ran out on Nov 6th, she was failing fast and once again I was told to put her down. I just couldn't, I know I would have to but not then. I scheduled an organization called Laps of Love, to come to the house on Sun. so Lexi could be euthanized at home. I made her as comfortable as possible. Sat night Nov 7th she laid down and went to sleep. I know I shouldn't say I'll never get another dog, but right now I just don't feel I could ever love another as much as I love my three dogs I've had. Run free my love, I miss you so much, your spirt will always be with me. Nov 21 2020 How's my Lexi doddle doing? I'm happy you're not in pain anymore and back to your old playful self. Dec 1 2020 Lexi, I miss you so much. I'm so lonely without you. Simba and Felicia are doing their best to keep me smiling, but I look at your empty bed and food dish, I just can't put it away yet, and I think you're outside or in another room. I hope you know how much Mommy loved you and I did my best to keep you healthy and safe. Dec 8 Hi Lexidoodle, I miss you so much. Thank you for letting me know you arrived at the Rainbow Bridge. You came to me in a dream. You were happy and healthy. I wish you could have stayed a lot longer. One thing I'm grateful for is you went before me. I worried so much about who would take care of you. No one could love you like I do. Dec 24 2020 Merry Christmas my sweet Lexi. I can't believe it's been almost a month since you went "home". My heart just aches for you and I get so depressed sometimes, but I look at all your pictures, especially the ones with Simba curled up next to you, and I smile. I can still feel your spirit in the house. Even Simba looks for you. He hasn't gone outside since you left. I sometimes find him sitting by your urn, wanting to cuddle with you again. I miss you terribly but I know you're doing much better and having fun. Hopefully I'll see you at the door when I get "home" Love you to pieces. Feb 4 2021 Oh my sweet Lexi, I miss you so much. I talk to you all the time, I know you hear me cause I sensed you in the bedroom, where you liked to sleep. My heart is broken, I'm sorry I wasn't a better Mom, I will love you till I die and then some. Hugs and kisses sweetie. March 15 2021 Hi Lexidoodle, my heart is still aching cause I miss you so. The weather is getting nicer and I can't even go into the yard without looking for you. Thank you so much for visiting with Samson awhile ago. I know the two of you are happy and well. I still miss you so much. I hope you know how much I loved you. May 9th 2021 Hi Lexi baby, I miss you so much. I will love you forever. I told you, you would be my last doggy and although I've been looking, I haven't found any that will take the hurt in my heart away. I was blessed with three wonderful dogs and I just don't know if I have any love left for another one. You know Mommy loves you and I'm sorry we couldn't be together longer. Love you June 13th 2021 Hello my sweet Lexi. I've been so lonely since you left. I miss you so much and will never stop loving you. Simba and Felicia say HI, I think deep down they miss you too, I know Simba does. Love you and Mommy will see you soon. June 20 2021 Hi sweet Lexi, I just watched a Dogs Purpose for the 3rd time and I'm crying my eyes out cause I miss you so much. When you left you took the last piece of my heart and now I'm so empty. I want to love another doggy but I'm so scared. I can't go through the heartache of losing another pet. I told you, you would be my last doggy. Oct 1 2021 Hi Lexi, I miss you so much. It still feels like you're still here. I put your bed in the back bedroom. Simba lays on it once in awhile. I know he misses you too. He has become my little shadow. Always watching over me. It haunts watching you cross over. I know you didn't' want to go and you watched me cry. I wasn't upset with you, God knows how much I loved you, I just wanted you to stay. I look at other dogs to love but my heart just isn't ready yet. Love you so much, have fun with Samson and Sheba. Nov 7th 2021 Hi sweet Lexi, It's so hard to believe you've been gone a year now. I miss you so much. I know you're feeling better and playing with Sheba and Samson. A day doesn't go by I don't wish you were still here. I really think your spirit is here because I can feel you. I'm just sad today but happy at the same time that you are not in pain. You are such a brave doggy. Run free my love and I'll see you soon. Dec 26 2021 Merry Christmas Lexi, I miss you so much, each day and night I always think of you but I can feel your spirit. Simba and Felicia miss you too. Simba especially because he loved snuggling with you. I'm just happy your feeling better and able to run and play again. Hugs and kisses, Mom March 4th 2022 Hi sweet Lexi, I can't tell you how much I miss you. Life just isn't the same without you. The cats are keeping me company and I swear your sprit is in Simba. He acts like you more and more. I'm so sorry for not being a better mother. I really feel like I failed you. I hope you don't feel that way. I loved you from the beginning, when I saw your cute puppy face till the end when you tried so bravely to stay with me. You will always be with me and I can't wait to see you again. Love you and miss you so much. May 9th 2022 Hey Lexi girl, Mommy misses you so much. I stopped by the visit Samson and Sheba. I would love to be able to give you hugs and kisses one more time. Love you June 14 2022 Hi Lexi girl, how have you been feeling? I know much better, and that makes me so happy. I still haven't been able to give my love to another doggy. I look at them, but none of them really "speak' to me. I know we will meet up again. Please don't forget me. Love you and miss you more. Sept 3 2022 Hi sweet girl, how's my baby doing?

Nov 7th 2022 How's my sweet girl doing? Today is two years since you crossed over. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you and miss you. My heart has been so empty and I know you wouldn't want me to be sad but I am. Simba and Felicia are a great source of love for me, but like I told you, you are my last doggy. I look at other dogs who need homes but I just don't feel the love. Maybe one day that special dog will come "speak" to me. Dec 24 2022 Merry Christmas Lexi. Another Christmas without you. I still feel your presence at home and Simba is looking after me like you told him too. I think about you and miss you so much each and every day.
