Lexi's Grace Welsh Springer Spaniels

Russ and Lexi At Equipment Dealership

Even though Lexi will be having puppies soon, she and Russ were out looking at hay balers.  Everyone at the equipment dealerships know Lexi and come right over to say hello. She loves being with Russ when he is driving the tractor. She really is a country dog.

Our Saturday Morning Walk 2-13-10

Now that Lexi is carrying puppies we are very aware of the fact that she needs to continue exercising to keep in good shape. This morning it was 28 degrees and a great time for a walk in the country.  Most of the walk was uphill which was good exercise for all of us.  Lexi has such fun when she is off leash, it gives her lots of time to find interesting things to smell.  She picked up the scent of many creatures, large and small.  In addition she flushed 2 partridge from their hiding place in the thicket, now that was exciting to watch!

Lexi's Favorite Toy

We just got back from our nightly walk which Lexi and I both enjoy.  I looked up from reading and saw she was relaxing on her favorite duck, which she received from our niece for Christmas.  Luckily I was able to get the camera out of the car and return before she got up to see where I had disappeared to. I think the picture is adorable.

OUR LITTLE HELPER

I decided to wrap a few presents today and my "helper" Lexi  had to check out each bag.  Good thing there weren't any of her presents in any of them, those are hidden away!

THANK YOU ELIZABETH COMMISKEY

Today is November 30th, which means it is Russ' birthday and therefore the day when I can finally give him the gift I had made for him.  The special gift is a Graphite Pencil Realism drawing of Lexi by the talented artist Elizabeth Commiskey.  I had always admired Elizabeth's work but never dreamed I would ever be lucky enough to own one.  She captured Lexi's expression perfectly and anyone who knows Lexi will certainly agree.  Thank you Elizabeth, this treasured possession will hang proudly over the fireplace in our family room.

HOLIDAY DECORATIONS

Another beautiful day in Massachusetts and we spent much of it outside decorating the house for the holidays.  Lexi as always was part of the fun, playing with the twigs as I was filling the planters with holly and berries.  I sure hope the nice weather continues and the snow stays far away!

60 Degrees in November

We are having a wonderful November this year.  Today it was 60 degrees and there was no better place to be than in the row boat on the lake.  Lexi had a great time in the boat watching the fishermen and in the water searching for her own fish.

Friends from Nantucket

Our friends from Nantucket came to visit us this week.  Lexi loved having other people in the house, and was especially pleased to meet each person as they came downstairs in the morning.  As you can see from the pictures the feeling was mutual and I had to make sure they didn't try to take Lexi home with them. Just Kidding guys!!
