This was the weekend of the pup! Dear Lexi, we did not forget about you and we do still remember that you were our first baby!! Please forgive us if we miss a walk every once in a while because we are busy cleaning up baby poop from the inside of a bath tub or from your mouth! Know that when "A" grabs you by the jowls and yells directly in your face a bunch of none sense it's him telling you how much he loves you. If we yell "Out" at you so many times that it is one of his first words that he now says to you while flailing his little finger while pointing at your doggie door we are sorry. But we just can't have you always licking his mouth in search of food or hanging out under his high chair waiting for scraps because he loves you so much that if he sees you there he'd gladly throw his entire dinner on the floor for you. You have been there for me through some tough times and helped me celebrate other exciting times. You kept me company while hubs was deployed for a year and run with me through rain or shine! You race "A" to the door to greet me and I appreciate every wag of your tail. You sit by me at night as I read him his bed time story waiting to say good night before I put him down and you sit by the bathroom in the mornings as I get ready for work. You may be a hyper dog, bark at nothing, chase your own tail, air hump the cushion on the couch, act like a psycho in the car, and pull relentlessly on runs but we LOVE YOU!!! 
She got a bath on Saturday so she could look her best and impress at the doggie dash while she proudly wore her "Adopted at Animal Humane" bandanna. At least this time as we drove there instead of smelling the nasty scared dog smell we got a whiff of the shampoo from the day before. She gave me a turbo boost on the run in a couple of spots and helped me run it faster than last year. May not be a PR but it's a post pregnancy PR! :-) We ran the 5k in 25 mins this year! Although I have to admit she was a lot more distracted this year maybe because we had to leave "A" behind she kept looking for him. She usually is pulling me hard throughout the whole race but this year I had to keep cheering her on to get her to stop looking back and falling behind. I also had to stop 2 x to untangle her from the leash! There were 2 kids that fell and ate asphalt in front of me poor kiddos I asked if they were ok and they said yes as the kept running but I could see the pain in their face. All in all everyone survived and we didn't step in any dog poo! At the home stretch she kicked it in to show off for the crowd and to try to jump in the stroller and give our kiddo a kiss! She got lots of treats and toys from all the vendors and slept the rest of the day. Thankfully we didn't let the rain scare us off. I'm so glad hubs went with me and took the little guy because he enjoyed it just as much. And they got to try the agility park. Even though the results were messed up at first other than that the race was great. I just didn't know spectators had to pay $5 to get in. If it wasn't for such a good cause that might have been a little annoying. Now I don't have any races on the horizon so I have to figure out what the heck I'm going to do all winter! Need to stay motivated!!
