My dog, Lexi Lou, died on Feb 8, 2012. She was 12 years old. I had to put her to sleep because of a large tumor on her liver. There were no symptoms until almost the very end. I woke up with her snuggled next to me in bed that morning, not knowing I would be holding her in my arms that same night to say my last goodbye’s.
I am devastated…I have never suffered the loss of a pet before…it is almost unbearable. Lexi, you lived to chase & catch your tennis ball, like a true superstar – you would have made an awesome shortstop for the Houston Astros! You were my protector, my confidant, my playmate, my best friend…you were always by my side…during happy times and sad. You followed me from room to room, from the kitchen to the bathroom, to waiting patiently for me to finish my shower so we could go for our daily walk.
You always loved to have your ears rubbed…making the biggest sigh when I rubbed them. If only I could throw you the ball one more time and watch you catch it & bring it right back to me for more…but once more would never be enough.
My Lexi Lou, my loving, loyal, sweet, beautiful companion…you were there for me – unconditionally- you blessed me with such laughter, happiness, and pure joy during the years we had together – you will never be forgotten – this I know for sure.
Until we meet again rest in peace
my sweet little angel Lexi Lou...
