A Dog's Life


I admit it. I have become one of them. I never thought it would happen...but it did. I’m a “dog person.” However, I don’t feel this way about all dogs...just our new pet, Lex. I guess I should say I have become a “Lex person.” He is just the cutest thing. That is him above, taking a nap at the foot of my bed.

Two weeks ago, we went to the shelter, hoping to find a small, well behaved dog. Lex was the first one on the right side as we walked into the dog building. Most of the other dogs were barking loudly, echoing through the concrete hall. Lex just put his nose through the iron gate and looked at us. That was it. He found a place in our hearts immediately.

Lex is fitting into our family just fine. With Alan’s encouragement, the boys have come to the decision that “God led us to Lex because He knew just what we wanted.”
