the adventures of lexie the labrador · Visit Lexie's Gift & Book Store
Today was girl’s day out. I took Lexie to the dog park without Wyatt and we had a great afternoon.
Just as we were ready to leave she became enamored by a 7 month old Australian Cattle Dog named Rocky. I haven’t seen Lexie play bitey face under a bench for months, but she was in love. The rest is history. Here is a shout out to Rocky and Rocky’s dad!
Rob and I have been thinking about getting another dog for quite some time. We didn’t want to get another puppy, we wanted a dog a little older than Lexie and we wanted to go through a rescue organization.
I have been watching petfinder.com for months. About a week ago I saw Wyatt and really feel in love. Rob and I decided we would visit the shelter on Saturday, but when I checked petfinder.com on Friday night Wyatt was gone.
We went over to the shelter anyway to look at dogs; we saw a beautiful, black lab mix, but someone was already in line in the process of adopting him. As we were leaving happened to meet a woman by the exit who told us about an adoption event at Pet Food Express. I looked at her sweatshirt and she was wearing a Norsled rescue shirt. My eyes lit up, you see Wyatt is a Siberian Husky. I asked the woman, Elaine, if Norsled had rescued Wyatt and she told me yes and that Wyatt was at Pet Food Express!
Rob, Lexie and I hopped back in the truck and drove over to the adoption event. Sure enough, Wyatt was there; a gorgeous, sweet, boy. We walked Wyatt and Lexie and let them get to know each other. Wyatt came home with us as a “foster” until Wednesday we he gets snipped and we can officially adopt him. He’s really a gentle soul.
Here is Wyatt.
Here is Lexie and her new friend Wyatt, the Siberian Husky.
Finally, Lexie Lulu at ten months old.
We love to visit Newhall Dog Park in Concord. Sometimes I bring my camera and shoot other dogs. Tonight we met Annie, she’s a beautiful mixed breed. Her owner was kind enough to let me shoot her dog amongst the chaos of the doggy park in the evening.
I’m posting all of the photos that I took of Annie so her owner can have them. Annie’s mom, if you would like larger images, please leave a comment below and I will email the originals to you.
Mom finally took me to Point Isabel, a really cool dog park by the water that all the COOL Bay Area dogs visit. Here I am, 21 weeks old and she hadn’t even bothered to take me. Yikes! I must train her better.
We met Raider, the handsome black lab, his mom Laura, and Jordon, one of my favorite new friends. Jordon ran around with me, even after I dropped a big stinker! He’s one cool kid.
I wasn’t sure if Raider liked me when we met on Thursday…You see, I like a good round of bitey face, but Raider wouldn’t play with me. I know it was because we were in a big crowd, but my feelings were a bit hurt, you know how we girls are.
Today it was just Raider and I….Oooolaaaalaaaa.
He thought he got me, but I’m spunky and came back for more.
Look who is chasing who now. 
We share a special moment.
Then we got to go swimming; this was the first time that either of us had gotten to swim with another dog.
We had some special moments while swimming too.
This is Jordon, he’s so cool, he played with us so much!
Raider out swam me today, I must practice more.
But he had me so excited I was actually butt-tucking!
But I think he would follow me anywhere.
It’s so great to have such an awesome friend.
You can see the rest of our pictures in my album.
Oh yeah, the humans had a good time too!
My mom and I have become active members of the Just Labradors forum. Mom enjoys chatting with other lab owners, looking at photos, learning, and sharing my exploits. Recently we got to meet some of the other members of the forum. We’ve met The H Mom, Marianne, and her labbie Cassie, a beautiful, black field lab, and Raidernation, Laura, and her boy Raider a gorgeous, black bench lab.
On Thursday we all met at Paso Nogal park in Pleasant Hill. A great time was had by all!
Mom took me to the park early; she thought I needed a little workout. I met a beagle who played bitey face until his mean owner made him go home.
Then Cassie came and we were forced to sit for a portrait.
Cassie is four years old, I hope I look that good when I’m four!
Raider came, he was rather aloof at first.
We tried to get a group picture, but those two black labs just wanted to play bitey face. Notice that I just want the treat and am willing to sit through all the silliness.
I hope you notice how good I was. Still sitting there waiting for the other two to settle.
I got tired of the wait, so I went to play with the big girls.
Mom almost got a good picture of Raider and Cassie, but Cassie is just like me….She wanted to get up close and personal with mom’s camera.
Mom made a photo gallery for me, she’s such a computer geek. You can see more pictures @ my photo gallery.
