My baby Lexi. 2/2/09-6/21/25.
My baby girl, the love of my life, my soulβs mate passed away in my arms this afternoon. Physically, my younger sister was there and spiritually, it was very obviously that our older sister was with us as well.
I adopted Lexi when she was 5 months old. Iβve never been an adult without her. Sheβs been by my side for everything. I donβt even know who βMeredithβ is. Itβs always βMeredith and Lexiβ. What a gift, what a joy, what an honor it was to be her mama her entire life. I will never be the same without her. She was the best part of me. We were so beyond obsessed and in love with each other. My home is silent without her. My baby was so mighty. So ferocious. So smart. So beautiful. So sassy. So funny. So cuddly. On her last day we went for a car ride and she got to have chocolate donuts and she ate Blue Bell chocolate ice cream and had fajitas. We had a picnic in the front yard so she could bark at people, her favorite activity. Lexi is my heart. I will love her forever and ever. In this life and the next. I hope so much that the second she left my arms, she was greeted by my mom and sister and all of her pup friends that have passed and her partner in crime cousin. Last night I woke up to Lexi laying her head right next to mine. We shared the same pillow and stayed like that all night. Losing my family had already broken my heart. Losing Lexi broke my soul.
I am so thankful to Morgan, Will, Allison and all of my pet clients that let me bring her to work with me in her final years. She made wonderful friends with all of the pets and it made my heart so happy to still get to be with her.
