The Joy of Rescuing Lexi

I should have started this blog months ago, but did not know how to get started. Sharing something dear to your heart should be easy. This will take you on a journey of my families life from the Great State of Texas back to GA.

Please allow me to introduce you to the joy of my life. No disrespect to my wonderful husband and Sons. The joy of my life, weighs 53 lbs., has cute little cropped ears, and a nubby tail. Her name is Lexi. She has saved my life in so many ways.

We adopted Lexi in February of this year. You see, I lost my furry little friend Missy in 1996. I vowed to NEVER get another dog. Losing her broke my heart. The adoption of Lexi probably started in 1999 when I set eyes on an 8 week old boxer puppy, my Granddoggy Ella. We lived in GA at that time, and would visit TX often. We were excited to see my Son and Daughter In Law, but seeing Ella made the trip. She was so cute, and funny. I still fought the puppy urge, but things change.

We moved to Austin, TX then back to GA in 2005. It was a tough transition. Needless to say, I left my heart in Austin, TX. I kept praying for something help me get through this tough transition. Hey, why love on everyone else's dog, I thought, why not get my own. I started looking at doggie adoption sites - they broke my heart. Then one day in February, I saw that they were having a boxer adoption near my home. Then entire ride over my husband kept saying that we were NOT getting a dog. Yeah, right! I would like to give special praise to Donna at Rocky's Boxer Rescue for taking care of my girl! February 9, 2008 was my special day. I saw that sweet little face, and asked if I could walk her around. Get this, I decided that she was goin' home with me.

Keeping a journal, and taking pictures has been fun, and theraputic. In the days ahead, I will share with you the joys and trials of rescuing this beautiful creature. Stay tuned for more of - A day in the life of Lexi, Queen of Towne Manor Court.
