My parents' dog passed away on the weekend at the age of 12. Here's Lexie through the years that went by way too quickly ...

1999

The young & crazy years.

2000

Catchin' air.

2002

She's not as noble as she looks ... she just really loves rowboat rides.



2003

Zack shows up. When Lexie first met Zack, she immediately took him to the washroom and taught him how to drink out of the toilet.

2004

Waiting for the canoe. And waiting. And waiting. For, you see, the canoe is dog paradise.

2005

Happy swimming. Being a Lab, Lexie loved to swim and she floated even when she didn't paddle her legs. She liked to make bubbles while swimming and try to eat them. Lexie would also gather stones from the bottom of the lake. She'd roll them along the bottom from deep areas to shallower water and then she'd sticker her head under and pick them up and bring them to shore.

2006

Sometimes on our canoe trips, Lexie and Zack would spot a tree stump sticking out of the water and they would think that it was ... something ... and start freaking out and barking at it. So we'd paddle up to it and they'd see that it was just a stump.

2007

Tri-dog adventure dog-sitting. Lexie wouldn't go up the stairs for the first two days of the visit, so I had to carry her. She weighed three thousand pounds. After wrecking my back, I learned that if I put a leash on her and just held the leash, she'd follow the lead up the stairs, no lifting required.

2008

Another visit. Merv's dog, Owen, was Lexie's best friend.


Dripping on Amber.


Goin' in for the smooch.

2009

Lexie had one last trip to the lake in June for one last big, happy swim.
