Happy Birthday Lexi

Today is Lexi's 3rd birthday!  And I can tell you that to Lexi, the best gift of all was that we were in school for her birthday!  (Last year we were on spring break)  Worthington Kilbourne High School is her home... her happy place! 

Lexi loves being surrounded by each of you every day.  There are so many students who will stop in to see her regularly and she is always so happy to see you.  And then on other days when she is in the halls and people smile, say hi, and reach down to pet her in passing - you have no idea how much all of that means to Lexi.  Obviously as her "mom" I can tell all of this because I am around her not only when she is at school, but also when she is away from Kilbourne. 

Every day when we drive to school, she lays down in her seat until the moment we get to Hard Rd just in front of the building and then she sits up... she can sense that she is close.  Heaven forbid I try to finish up anything in the car before taking her into school because she will whimper to tell me to HURRY UP!  When I ask her if she wants to go see her friends, she dances and vibrates with excitement. 

So I would like to thank all of you!  Lexi is, undoubtedly, the most spoiled dog on the planet!  Thank you for loving her and caring for her.  Never doubt that you have made a difference in her life and that your presence at school each day matters not only to the staff members and your friends, but also to Lexi.  You belong at Kilbourne... and if you are ever doubting that, stop by the counseling center - there will be a dog who is VERY excited to see you and will gladly sit nearby for you to pet her for a while... and who knows, she may even try to give you a kiss.

Happy Birthday Lexi!
