Grateful for Blogville


This is Amy, Mom to Lucy and Xena, as well as Angel Lexi. I am sharing my gratefulness today for Blogville. I first used Dogster. Dogster limited its users to 5 pictures and there was no real community there. Because it had been bought out with the new owners talking about closing down the blogging portion, I decided to create my own website to blog about Lexi, my thespian schnauzer. I soon became addicted, and was thrilled every time someone new found The Adventures of Lexi the Schnauzer – actually, I still am!

Of course it’s easy to become attached to animals. I was, however, a bit surprised when I found myself starting to really care about many of the people behind the keyboards. I watched a true community form whenever someone was in need – whether it was for prayer, encouragement, financial, or all three. Then, when I was losing – and lost – my heart dog Lexi I was overwhelmed by the kindness, the caring, and the support I got from this community of people I had never met in person. I don’t know what I would have done without you.

Now, you join me in enjoying the antics of my girls. You commiserate with Lucy over her trials with the “cute puppy,” applaud her in her victories, worry for her when she runs off, and rejoice when she shows the world that bullie breeds are actually sweet, loving dogs. You follow along with Xena as she learns about her world, overcomes her fears, tries to dominate her bigger siblings and grows way to fast. And you give me many smiles and some tears with pictures and stories of your own furbabies.

Thank you. thank you, thank you for all of this. I am grateful for each and every one of you — friends who have become family. Wishing you folks here in the U.S.A. a wonderful Thanksgiving and hoping everyone else celebrates right along with us.

God Bless.

  1. We love Blogville too. Magic our miniature schnauzer had her blog for 7 years and then retired passing the baton to Moth the Affenpinscher. Thank you for dropping by our blog and leaving comments. Look forward to following your blog too – nose licks and love from Moth xx

  2. You saw me comment on your interviews on Bacon’s site. 🙂 No apology necessary, glad you found us. Lexi would be glad to know of her fame, but then, she never doubted that.

  3. How embarrassing! I thought I’d seen you stopping by. I’d heard of Lexi for quite some time but had never found your blog until recently. It is hard to lose a companion, even if they come back again, but it certainly takes the edge off. I’m glad for you that this is a possibility. Our connections with our loved one can be strong for both us and our companions. Knowing that it is the same Pet that has returned keeps me from feeling guilt when I love a new one.
