The Aussie that Stole My Heart

My Aussie, Bailey, was older and slowing down rapidly. I wanted to add another 4 legged love to my family to keep him company after my golden passed. Lexy was brought up from Texas to a foster home in Delaware which had about 12 other fosters. I went down from NJ to see her being told we might be a good fit. She was abused and very nervous...only dog not to come greet me when I got there and always has eyes on me wherever I moved. Two hours sitting on the kitchen floor and turkey in hand, she finally came over to get her tasty treat. I knew she was my dog. She hopped quickly in the car, fell asleep on the backseat, and followed me right into my house when we got back. That night, she slept right by my head on the air mattress I was using to sleep downstairs so I could be with Bailey who couldn't go up the stairs anymore. Precious girl...she helped Bailey and me through some tough times and even though she's the rescue, I think she rescued me.
