TOO much going on!! BOL!!

Hi Friends,
Well as you may know I am the spokes dog for our family....I can't believe my last entry was in May!!! Where have I been???BOL BOL!! Well we have been super busy....see my mom and dad were going to move to Arizona..infact they were to be leaving to look at and buy our new house there...well then it all happened....daddy has been having trouble with his eyes and the day before his birthday Sept. 10th..he went to the eye Dr. to find out he had a detached retina.....so he just had surgery a week ago today for that in one eye and other stuff in the other eye! Daddy is healing and doing better of which we are sooo glad but the pawrents can't make their trip to AZ. for at least a month! Daddy won't be able to see well enough till then to drive or SEE just about anything.
We kids have been doing ok....the terrible heat went away so we get to go on more walks, to the parks etc...today mamma is very sad...today is her grandaughters 14th birthday but she hasn't seen her for 2 years. Her mommy and daddy took her away from all of us 2 years ago. Anyway so it is hard for mamma to write right now but just know we are all ok...I want to thank everyone for the prezzies given to me and my siblings...
God Bless,
Lexi & Family

My Dr. appointment & Mamma's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Friends,
Mamma has been awful sick again!!!!!...will get to that in a minute ...but she still took me to the dawgy Dr. today and we got my blood tests done and a good checkup....well the good news is my blood work is all FINE!!!! BOL!!!!...BUT ...the Dr. said I have so much arthritis in my knees that they just "crunch crunch"...so she ordered 1/2 baby aspirin 2 times a day for me from now on...for the rest of my life and I'm not even four yet!!! That makes mamma kind of sad because she dosen't know what all this means in the "big scheme of things."
Now for my mamma...she got that SAME sickness again!! here she just had it April 10th....well thats when she went to the Dr....and now it's back and real bad this time...so now she has to take an antihistamine every day and the Dr. gave her some real strong meds to see if they can't clear this up. The Dr. calls it a "severe sinus infection"...and to all my friends out there ...tell your pawrents this...this Dr. told my mamma that she will have to take an antihistamine every day till this WINTER!!!...because something to do with the pollen counts are just crazy this year and a couple other things. She told mamma if she dosen't take her medicine just like the Dr. told her to that this nasty stuff will just keep coming back!
Well friends I gotta go...
Peace and Joy to you all...
Love,
Lexi

Road trip for me today!!!!

Mamma has been thinking I act kind of depressed so this morning she, my grandma, and I went on a road trip....it was soooo fun! The weather was perfect...at first I was a little excited and all over the front seat but in very short order I calmed down and laid on my mammas lap the whole trip....we went on a couple walks together and it was just "oh sooo nice."

My Heart is Sad....

Hi Friends,
The day after my mamma's cousin died....my grandpa got real bad....see he has this disease called Alzhiemers....then just a day or so later...the 28th he took a fall and my mamma had to be the one to put him in a nursing home..my grandma was there but because of Sundays events and then this fall she felt like she couldn't handle one more thing so she turned it over to my mom...I will miss my grandpa sooo much, he always loved ME BEST! I can't go to the nursing home to see my grandpa cuz I bark and growl if any stranger comes near my family members. Yesterday mamma held me and held me and petted me......
Love,
Lexi

News from our house to yours

Hi Friends,
Well as you know because I was here first and because of mom and dads love for me, we have 5 of us now...anyway I am the spokes lady for the family. Some times it sucks being the spokesdog.... Last night mamma got the call that her favoritist and closest (to her) cousin died last night. Mamma was very sad today and daddy didn't know what we could do to help her feel better so finally they put all of us kids in the car and out to the big country park we went. We spent an hour out there goofing around . It was sooo much fun for us all...I only have 1 pic on my page , it is #4 if you wanna look...thats about the only pic dad could get of me being "nice." See, I don't like to listen much out there, I like to explore and do my own thing....I do come to them though ...some times ...when they call but for the most part I am going the other way...BOL...anyway the better pics are on Angels page and then Mikey and Demi's on their pages. I guess thats all I know...I'll let Demi tell ya the other news.
Bye Friends,
Lexi

Grandparents

Hi Friends,
I guess I get to have mom write about one of my favorite topics which is my grandparents....esp. my grandpa! I have a special love for him and he does for me too. He always has. They came to see us Sunday. I was sooo happy to see them, esp. grandpa. I ran to him and got in his lap and kissed his face and then got behind him on the couch and tried to eat his hearing aids...I love those things. They make a buzzing sound that is just too cool!When grandpa comes to visit I don't leave his side.
My mom also makes us homemade dog food now and WOW!! I LOVE that stuff! I want to eat all of mine and every one elses too! I got a nice bath Friday and a green bow in my hair for St. Pattys Day. Mom took Easter pics of us Sat...mine wasn't too bad...Billie took the best ones. She is a diva like that...she dosen't mind posing. MOm even put her in an Easter Basket! Mom wants to get the time to post them on our pages here. Well, my turn is up so gotta give this to Demi.
Love,
Lexi

Update on my whole family

hi friends,
Well since I am the spokes-dog for the family I have to tell ya....wow what a winter it has been....sick pups, sick mom, dad, auntie and the grandson.....lots of heart ache too, mamma's best friend has stage 2 cancer but is handling it very courageously...mamma's cousin is dieing of cancer and her aunt is as well..her aunt has a brain tumor...thats what killed moms baby sister so many years ago.....anyway it's been hard...then to top that off a lady approached mom about wanting Natalee....long story short, mom let Natti go after putting this lady through quite a screening process and visiting her home with Natti for about an hour and a half before mom agreed to "try it"...the lady called mom a few days after having Natti and begged mom to let her stay. She said if mom came and got Natti now it would kill her.(the lady)...Mom knows the lady loves Natti very much and we know mom did!We know mom is sad inside and trying to be happy for us...she'll come around....she has noticed the relief of not having to settle fights all the time...there for awhile we were all doing sooo good and then all of a sudden things got worse...mom wonders if it was because we got Mikey and it was just too much for Natti...see my sisters and I are pretty laid back and accepting of almost any dog but Natti was just too much for all of us. Mom has realized though how now we can all be out all the time and we move freely about the house and the stress is alot less for everyone. All of us girls can stay out and have full run of the house if we want, we like that...know what we do? We ALL go in the dining room and sleep and we all huddle up together..one morning when mom got up and saw that she smiled......her heart smiled too....it's kind of sad for me to say this but mom needs to face the fact that NONE of us miss Natti, infact we show signs of being glad she is gone...like we run and play like we always used to before the days of Natti...Natti had hurt Billie a few times so Billie was afraid of her and would hide alot...she had hurt Mikey once and she knocked my block off so many times I hate to count but then one night she had scared Angel with her intimidation stuff and I saw the look on moms face...Angel ran for her crate as Natti was just "sizing her up" and mom yelled,"Natti..NO!" EVERYBODY around here knows you DO NOT MESS WITH ANGEL! I think that kind of did it for mamma...she had always promised Angel she would never live in fear again ..........mamma has said it wasn't Natti's fault she was like she was, some of it she was born with and she didn't have the luxury of me, Billie, Demi, and Mikey of being in a home and loved since 8 or 10 weeks of age. So anyway now we are trying to get back some normalcy in our lives...and as for me I am patient when I need to be so I just wait and cuddle with mom and be good to my sibs. Talk soon friends.
Love,
Lexi Hope
