A Toast to Lexi

A very sad e-mail this morning alerted me to the crossing over of good soul. No, scratch that a GREAT soul. Very dear friends lost their long time beloved dog Lexi. Many of us had the good fortune to call Lexi a friend. She is the very reason Sean and I wanted Border Collies in the first place. She was an amazing dog who brightened all the lives she touched. She embraced life and each of us was better for having known her.

She will be missed by the Ross family more than I can say. So Miss Lexi, rest in peace, or better yet, run free beautiful girl in the endless dog park which is now yours. Give our love to those who went before you.

To us of the human species left behind, let us not forget how very little our pets ask of us and how very much they give in return. It only takes a minute to scratch a head or give a hug. Cherish each day you are given, they are a short term loan, use them well.

As for me, I think there's a Frisbee that needs throwing in the next room.
