Pet-Peeves: Sharing me, food, or toys w/Dixie. She'll share with others just no Dixie.
Favorite Toy: "Pig Skin". A toy pig that she removed the squeaker & stuffing from. She drags it around everywhere. She's had it since she was a puppy so I throw it in the wash so she can keep it.
Favorite Food: She'll tackle you for a piece of cheese or peanut butter. She drools over popsicles. She's also a huge fan of apples & lettuce but likes most other vegetables and fruit. (Hates bananas.)
Favorite Walk: Anywhere out the front door. She loves to visit the neighbors, go with me to the salon or shopping, she loves riding in the buggy & seeing people.
Best Tricks: Jumping through a hula hoop & playing dead. She's learning to ride her skateboard. She can also wave bye bye, roll over, beg, crawl, twirl, high five, ring bell for food & to go potty, hug, sneeze & tell a secret.
Arrival Story: I tried to decide what breed I wanted. So I went to a pet store to "just look" at the puppies. Yeah right! The idea was to choose a breed then find a breeder. It was love at first sight. Lexy weighed a pound. She was all hair w/a giant personality. I'm so happy I found her. She has turned out to be the best dog I've ever had. She loves all animals & people, including children. When she meets an aggressive doggy it never phases her. I loved her personality so much that I decided to get another Papillon & adopted Dixie.
Bio: Lexy is a very sweet girl. She's always happy, with the exception of the first few days after adopting her big sister "Dixie". Lexy was the "top dog"/only dog for 3 years. She pouted for a while as this new "dog" tried to steal time with her mommy, lay in her favorite spots, and go on her walks. She made the adjustment and was "ok" with it for a year and a half. They didn't completely bond until Lexy was attacked by a 70lb dog in June 08. Unfortunately he saw Lexy as prey. Dixie watched the whole incident. She ran over to lick console Lexy when I got the dog off her. They are now family and all is well. Lexy is very eager to learn new tricks and loves to show off any chance she gets for an audience or the camera. I have so much fun training her because she loves it so much. She started doing agility back in 2007. She loves it. She will be in her first teacup agility trial in November 2008. She's also working toward passing the canine good citizen & learning new tricks. My goal is to use Lexy & Dixie as therapy dogs and brighten peoples day. Lexy gets excited when people laugh at her tricks. She poses for the camera when theres one around. She wishes she could get a picture published just once. lol. I know she will. Watch for her.

The Last Forum I Posted In: I dont look like a Papillon and Shouldn't be on the Milo
Happy Thanksgiving week everybody. I dont know when I'll be ale to get back online because we are going to grannys house for the holidays. I heard mommy say that grandpa has pneumonia so he's not feeling so good. Dixie and I will have to cuddle with him a lot to make him feel better.
Thanks everyone for all of your really nice comments and emails. I logged on this morning and see I have a lot of P-mail to respond to today. They made me and mom fell much better. We are so happy that the voting part of the contest is over. “Whew” that was a lot of hard work. Now I guess we just wait and see. I want to wish all of the Finalist puppies good luck. Everyone’s pictures & videos were so good. All of the finalists won a digital camera just for being in the finals. I can’t wait to see what kind of camera we won and start posing for more pictures. Yay!!! You can visit the Milk-Bone® website MILK-BONE® for contest updates. The Winner should be announced on January 8, 2009.
I really hope that we are able to help the Homeless Pets Foundation in their efforts to raise enough money to build their shelter. Click here to visit their website Homeless Pets Foundation to learn more about the organization and how you can help. One of the nice ladies from the group told mommy that they were getting a little Papillon in whose owner just passed away. She said they would like to place her with a family that knows about Papillons. They also have a really cool Bull Mastiff “Ozzie” who needs a home. Lots of people have applied but I think Ozzie needs to be an only pup but I’m not sure. He’s very big and very handsome.
This weekend is my very first teacup agility trial! I’m so excited. We’re going to practice one last time later today. I made some new friends in the contest that are coming to watch me and cheer for me. I can’t wait to meet them. I hope I don’t mess up too bad. hehe.
Then next week is turkey time, yippee!!!!! Dixie & I love turkey day! We get lots of treats from Granny & Grandpa but don’t tell mommy.
Well it’s the last day of the contest. If you read this today please be sure to visit the Milk-bone site http://milkbone.icmodus.com/?id=8600 and cast your last vote for me today! VOTE FOR LEXY It’s one vote but it could make a difference. And if you think about it email my link to anyone you can today!!!
I’ve had a lot of fun coming up with ideas to get votes in this contest and I’ve made lots of new friends that I hope will stay in touch with me after all of this is over.
Although mommy is upset today because a mean lady emailed her and insulted me. She told mommy that I would not make a good representative for Papillons or an Ambassador for Milk-Bone because I don’t meet the Papillon breed standards. She said I should be on the box and I don’t look like a Papillon. Mommy assured me that I was a Papillon and showed me the papers that said so. Then she said papers didn’t matter she would love me just the same. Mommy told the lady that she appreciated her opinion but that she disagreed with her comment that I wouldn’t make a good Ambassador. She said I would be an excellent Ambassador because of my personality, abilities, and love of people and animals and that the Papillons should be proud to have me represent them even though I look a little different. She said it was a good thing that Milk-Bone didn’t require the dogs on the box to meet breed standards otherwise only a small few would get on there.
I don’t know why this lady doesn’t like me but I hope I do get on the box. We should mail one to her house. hehe
Don’t forget, the Voting ends tonight at 11:59 PM Central Time. Please go to the website one last time or for your first and lony time to . VOTE FOR LEXY. Your vote will also support the Homeless Pets Foundation.
