a lexi update

smiling for the camera


i think this one makes her look like a polar bear...so serious!

our little girl hasn't had very many posts lately, largely because we've settled into a routine and there's not typically much new news to report. but i thought i'd post some recent pics of her after i decided to give her a bath the other day. labs, in general, aren't supposed to be bathed. most trainers and experts will tell you that labs only need regular brushing and a "bath" with just water if the dog gets into something messy (i.e. mud, etc.). however, i decided that our sweet little girl needed a soap bath because she was just too smelly! so, much to her chagrin, she got one. the pics above are the final result. she did quite well, actually, and really enjoyed getting to lay on the hardwood floor once it was all over.
