When we traveled last weekend, we dropped Lexi off at her second favorite place to be besides the park -- my parents house. Since I was working on Friday and we left on Saturday, Owen and I drove Lexi on Thursday. On Friday, it was the first time that I was home with Owen without our sidekick Lexi and boy did we miss her. I really didn't realize how much we depend on her ... she cleans up the mess that Owen always makes at every meal ... she gets us motivated to take at least one walk a day (even on the gross rain/cold days) ... there is usually one time during the day that Owen and Lexi will play with each other which will buy me a few minutes to clean after my little hurricane ... and of course the unconditional love. No matter how tough the day has been ... no matter how much of a grump Owen was that day ... Lexi is always there to share her kisses and snuggle up close and silently let you know just how much she loves us. The funniest part of this little story is when we got back home and I was snuggled in bed with Lexi at my feet reading a Baby Talk magazine ... this was the last page and I couldn't help but smile and realize just how true it really was!

I also want to mention that I am sending positive thoughts to a good friend who had to send her first fur baby to her Dad's house because her baby may be very allergic to him. You are so strong to do this and we are thinking of you and your family and hope it all works out because we know how important your fur baby is to your family!
