LEX WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER
Hi Pali, It was good talking to you today. I wish it was under different circumstances. So sorry to break the news to you over the sudden death of our furry little angel, Lex. He died in his sleep. We had a little funeral for him. He is buried in our rose garden where he always loved to explore when he was still alive. He was the king of our home and of our garden. He chased every squirrrel, bird, butterfly and even wasps and bees that came near his garden. He followed me around the house and the yard poking his little nose into everything that I did. We gave him a nickname of “pokey face” and he seemed to love whenever we’d call him that. He was very protective of us and barked like a big dog whenever he heard someone at the door. He never failed to greet me at the door each time I came home from work. When I went to Asia on a business trip, my dad housesat and took care of Lex for two weeks while I was gone. Then my dad had the flu and was feeling really weak; my dad told me that Lex never left his side while he was ill and was licking my dad’s wrist as his way of making my dad feel better. And when my dad went to the bathroom at night, Lex stood outside the door and waited for my dad to make sure he was okay. What a sweetheart! We loved him so very much. And are missing him a lot. He was a loving dog who couldn’t do enough to make everyone happy around him. He was gentle and sweet and very obedient and also full of mischief at times. And if he didn’t know you or not familiar with your smell because he was blind, he would aim for your bottom and try to snip it until he got comfortable around you and knew that you were not a danger to him and his household. I want to thank you for bringing him into our lives. He came at a time when we were mourning over the loss of our dachshund which we’d had for seven years. Lex helped us heal our hearts over our loss of our other furry little angel, Fletcher, which was also a rescue dog that we adopted when we lived in Dallas. Thanks again, and when we’re ready, we will come and look at more of your furry little angels that need a home. Sincerely, Arlene Murray
