Lexis is a terrier mix and she belongs to friends of ours – we watched her for 10 special days while they hit the road for Vancouver and these are some of my favourite shots I got on my iPhone. Not the greatest quality, yet she’s cute nonetheless. First off, where does the name ‘Lexi Girl’ come from? Well, it just sort of started as something I said. When my dogs,…

I mean, it’s like she thinks it’s a snack or a treat.…
