Silly Dog

We've had Lexi now for 3 months and she has really settled in. She's such a funny dog - a big doofus in a lot of ways. I said that she reminds me of Scooby Doo - not real smart, kind of a "fraidy" and always looking for a snack.



She loves nothing more than to just be close to us. She loves to sit on or lay on your feet, weave between your legs and headbutt you. She's a one dog wrecking crew when she's wound up after coming inside - like a bull in a china shop.

Lexi loves feet. Yes, my dog has a foot fetish - go figure. She will lick your feet clean for you no matter how nasty they may be. It's pretty gross. I can't let her lick mine more than a few swipes because it tickles too derned much, but Chris gets a Lexi-pedi almost every night. Ew.

She absolutley ADORES the D-man. They are about the same size, and they do this thing I call "wrasslin' match" where she basically pushes him gently to the floor and sits on him. D giggles and squeals and she sits on anything she can including his head. It's hilarious. She loves to "herd" him and will put her mouth on him to grab him but never leaves a scratch.



Lexi's other best buddy is our neighbor's dog, Mika. They are about the same size and their tie-ups in the back yards allow them to get to each other. They wrestle and play the whole time they're out. In fact, if one of them is out, you can hear the other one barking, wanting to go out and join the other.

She's a nut for toys, and has done well at learning which ones are hers and which are D's. She LOVES stuffed animals, and will rip them apart and pull out their stuffing within hours. She loves it when I stick a bacon treat in her kong - that'll keep her busy for a long time. lol

She's a sweet lover of a dog. I'm so glad we found her.

  1. What a cute pooch. It's cool he plays like that. The last dog I had was a useless animal that just liked to run around the yard and beg food from the table.

  3. Now that you mention it. She does kinda look like scooby ahaha in the eyes. I'm happy you have such a loyal friend. Dogs sure are great.

  4. She's adorable!! I had a cat with a toe fettish. He would lick my toes until I took my feet away. Sometimes that's how he would wake me up!

  5. Sounds like our Lab. Aren't they great to have around?

    When she comes inside she's like a furry 60 pound ping pong ball. Menacing to the china cabinet but very entertaining to the children.
