Nickname: Lexi, LexiPooh, LexiPooh Face

I got Lexi when I was in college. I went into a pet store to get cat food I think and I ended up using some of my rent money to adopt her from the rescue group that was there. But the apartment where I lived didn't allow pets, so a friend of the guy I was dating at the time pretended to be my landlord and said I was allowed to have pets. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I had to have her... that I was meant to be her human.

For 12 years, she was the ONLY thing that was constant in my life. And she was so in tune to my emotions. Whenever I was especially sad, she'd come over to me and push her nose under my hand and make me pet her because how could I possibly be sad if I was petting her??? And knowing I was coming home to her was always enough to put a smile on my face. I loved our morning walks and how she knew my routine to where she knew based on which shoes I was putting on when it was time for her walk.

She was the best friend to me and the best pet I could ever have hoped for. I had to say good-bye to her entirely too early and I was completely unprepared. But I know it was for the best, and so, that is all I care about. But every minute, of every day, I miss her. And every minute of every day, I love her just as much.
