Tyranosaurus Lex

Added: Or Terrasaurus Lex

The vet reassured me today that Lexi is normal. She originally guesstimated her grown weight to be between 20 and 25 pounds because Beagles' adult weight is between 20 and 22 pounds and a Doxie's is from 16 to 30 pounds, depending on their body height and length.

She still thinks Lexi is on track for the 20 to 25 pound range and told me not to worry as right from birth until the age of 6 months will be the most rapid phase of growth and it will slow way down after that. Lexi should be done growing completely by 12 to possibly 13 months.

That made me feel better, lol!

She told me again that Lexi is perfect not too thin, not too fat, but pretty much perfect.

I like the perfect part because to me, she really is in every way! =)

Not at all! Haha!

And she apparently is making up for lost time. She is learning things at a fast rate too.

She now plays fetch with me with a stick, her ball, and two types of frisbees. The regular disc type and the rubber ring type.

And yes, she brings it back to play a little tug of war, then drops it at my feet and waits for me to throw them again.

She truly is amazing.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that she loves frog legs! LOL!

There is a big white Heron that walks the edge of the pond every morning and catches frogs, but apparently doesn't like the legs.

But Lexi finds them and considers them a delicacy!

She's half Beagle and half Doxie and I call her a Doxle, lol!

Yes, I know both breeds. My first dog ever was a Doxie, her name was Spice. My sister got a kitty at the same time and her name was Sugar. We had Sugar and Spice, haha!

Anyway, my dad was an AKC Beagle breeder and my most favorite puppy when I was a kid was a Doxie Beagle mix. His name was Snoopy.

So, as you can plainly see, Yeah, I know the breed.
