Happy Birthday Lexy! Lexy is one of our Goldens who happens to be turning 8 this weekend. Because Caitlin is heading out of town this weekend, we celebrated her birthday early. Jill and Josh were here for the weekend, so they added to the big celebration. Now this may sound strange to some, but birthday are important around here, no matter who might be the one having one. And Lexy is one special dog.
Lexy hails from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. We got her when we were so lucky to have lived there 8 years ago. (There’s just so much love for Oklahoma here that it’s hard to fit it in to one sentence) NOT! Oklahoma was a hard move and no one was happy. We were forced to move at a time when my dad was terminally ill, and I hated every mile that separated us. Caitlin hated us for making her move, and Daniel went along for the ride. So in order to cheer everyone up I got the idea to add one more Golden face to the family. So I gathered up a measly $200.00 (a cheap price for a dog those days) and headed out to the nearest Ostrich farm, and got us a dog. Yes, Lexy comes from a long line of Ostriches. OK, not really, but she was born on an Ostrich farm. Perhaps one of the reasons for the cheaper price, I suspect.
She has proved herself a loyal and wonderful pet over the past 8 years. She’s sweet, smart, and has provided us all with more giggles and love than I could ever have imagined any one dog could provide. Life would not be the same without her. Happy Birthday girl! We love you.
