Here we are

 

Last year when Lexi was only 5-months old I made this poster for Dog Dad Day. It is a real holiday every year on June 18th.

So much to catch up on. Don't know where to begin.

Dear friends,

Six years ago my life ended when my beloved Jacqueline passed away. She was more that my wife for 56 years, she was my purpose and my inspiration. She was the fire inside me that kept the steam engine moving. Now the fire is out and the steam engine is rusted and broken and doesn't move any more.

The only thing that has kept me going has been my love for my Rottweilers. After Jacqueline died I lost my best friend Ruffin. He was quickly replaced with Griffin. Then Bess died at such a young age. So friends on Facebook fixed me up with Gabby. Both of these boys were young adults when I adopted them and they are only 6-months apart in age.

The boys got along fine and they loved to play with each other every day. But something was missing in my house, it was the first time in over 25 years that I didn't have a female Rottweiler. And the two boys were acting wild because no one was around to control them. So one day I saw a picture of a little puppy and fell in love with her.

And it made no difference that she wasn't a Rottweiler. The boys loved her and she loved me and in the past year she has taken over ruling the house. Her name is Lexi and I picked it out for a reason. She is the demanding one and that translates in Spanish to El exigente.

I have so many more pictures to share I hope to get back here again, soon.
