Hey, Lexi Supporters…we have wonderful news to report! Lexi is on the road to recovery. I daresay it is nothing short of a miracle. This is what Lexi looked like Friday:
You can’t see it very well in the picture, but all of her little vertebrae were showing…
as well as all of her ribs.
And here is my little monkey Wednesday morning:
She has definitely gained weight! She is eating her prescription dog food like a little piggy.
Just look at that sparkle in her eyes!
But on this cold rainy night, Muffy is still snuggling close. We visit the vet again on Friday. I can’t wait to see the look on Dr. Rita’s face when she sees the improvement!
Thank you so much for all of your emails, support, and doggy prayers. They have meant so much. Heartfelt hugs from Lexi and me. Until next time…
I am so relieved, Ann. Hugs and continuing prayers.
Continuing the prayers for her! We love our animal family! God bless her and be with you too! Ruthie
That is terrific and what a difference in the way Lexi looks. Prayers are so imporant. She’s happy to be home with all of you – there’s another part of your miracle!
Ann, this is such wonderful news. So happy for Lexi and you; peace of mind is wonderful!!
Oh Ann, what a relief! She is looking so much better. So happy for you. It’ll be interesting to hear what the vet has to say. Onwards and upwards!
Praise the Lord. So glad she is back on the right track and gaining weight. Yippee.
wonderful news 🙂
My goodness. How scary! I’m so glad that Lexi is now eating and able to keep food down. Thank you for keeping us up to date. I will pray for her recovery.
Wonderful news…so glad to see that Lexi is getting better especially after reading what happened. Looking forward to hearing more wonderful news and her getting back to 100 percent as I’m sure you are too. Thanks for the update! Praying for Lexi and your family.
What great news, Ann. Thanks for sharing!

Great news, so very glad! Prayers have been answered.
Yea Lexi, you go girl.
As wonderful the care her handler and that vet gave her, Lexi needed to be home with her family to rest and get better….sooooo excited to hear your good news…and hoping her regular vet will give you the thumbs up that she is truly on her way back….and back to being the runway girl that she was before getting sick! Big hugs to you all and soft pats to her!
That was a great blog post to read! Such a relief to all! Good-luck at the vet tomorrow.
So glad to hear the good news.
That is wonderful news! I am so glad for you.
Way to go Lexi! So glad to see the twinkle in your eyes and that you are back up on your feet, I mean, paws! Like Billy Crystal would say, “You look marvelous darling!” Can’t wait until next week to see another photo! She will be back wowing the judges in no time!
Big Hugs!

Oh, Ann! that poor pup! Hope she continues to get well quickly!
Fantastic news!
I’m so happy Lexi is on her way to a fast recovery. I was very worried about her when I saw her picture earlier. It’s amazing how much more meat she has on her with lot less rib showing. Yah!!! Hugs, Lexi!
Great news! Thanks for the update.
Great news Ann, she just needed to be in her own bed and with her caring family. Dogs have that second sense when someone or something is ill. She looks so much better.
What wonderful news about Lexi! She is such a beauty! I hope she continues to do very well! Thank you for the update!
Thanks for the update Ann-I know you are relieved
Great relief to hear about Lexi’s progress! I know how difficult it is to deal with a pet who is not well. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers — Muffy, you had better stay well and take care of your sister. With love, Nancy B
Awesome results from an Awesome God! Thanks for sharing and will keep praying!
Thanks for sharing. It’s wonderful to see her back on the road to recovery. I knew she would do better once home with her family.
So very happy for all of you! I know how very stressful it is to try to nurse a sick animal back to health. I played doctor and nurse for 3 full months last winter/spring for a sheltie in full-blown pancreatitis. Difference is… my vet was not that supportive but something about my dog said he wanted to live. I.V. (by me), meds, force-feeding (unfortunately), vigilance (adjusting meds and care), 24-hour round-the-clock care and love got him through and you’d never know to this day. We have no idea what brought it on as he’s never got into garbage or high fat anything (no gravy drippings no nothing, lol) – suspect some sort of poisoning. But now, each day is a gift. Go YOU (I KNOW it’s taken a toll on you) and go Lexi! Big hugs from Canada!
OH what great news… she is looking better already! hugs.
So happy to hear that Lexi is improving!
I think she missed her mommy and home.(:-( now changed to (:-)
Halleluia……wonderful news. Been praying for her.
THANK YOU GOD !!
What would we do with out our STAR !!!!
Hugs frenchie
Wonderful news! So happy for all of you!
Wonderful news!
What great news!!! Lexi had a lot of prayers and well wishes so it’s no wonder you were able to share that Lexi is recovering so nicely! 🙂
Fantastic news, Ann!!
I didn’t read all the comments but a thought occurred to be when I first read about Lexi’s illness and I still think it might hold true……I think maybe she was homesick! Now that she is home, she is doing so well that maybe she just missed her ‘real’ family!
Yay! What wonderful news! PTL! So glad to hear this. Give all your babies a hug for me and an extra big one to Lexi. I know you and your family are feeling some relief. Thank you for sharing, I was wondering how she was doing.
thank you for posting such wonderful news! the dog Gods are a huge help; keep up the improvement, Lexi
Such wonderful news you have and what a difference a few days has made for Lexi.
Sooooooooooo happy for both of you .
Muffy is so sweet. Such a little mother she is in helping Lexi stay warm. Too cute!
Oh Ann what wonderful news to report! You must be so incredibly relieved! I had faith in you though, I knew Mama would fix her right up!
PTL! So glad to hear and see this. She needed her family to feel better!
Ann, that is such wonderful news! Being back home with her mommy, daddy and siblings was the best medicine she could have! What a difference a week has made, she is looking soooo much better!
Good to hear. I am sooooo glad. Fur blessings!
Dearest Ann, what splendid news on Lexi. Prayers, love & tender care have revived her. What a wonderful image of how we all need to come home, be watched over and cared for as we enter this Lenten season.
So glad she is on the road to recovery, nothing worse than sick furry friends. Thanks for keeping us updated. Have a great day.
Fabulous news! She does look so much better. Thanks for the update!
i am so happy to hear this good news. she just needed to be home with her family.!! keep us up to date on her never get tired of seeing and hearing about your dogs. and love love your cards too !!
Thanks for sharing the great news that Lexi is on the road to recovery! She looks fantastic! Hugs to you and your furry family!
Awwww! I am so happy to hear this. 🙂
Ann, I am so glad that Lexi is getting better, poor thing. I can relate to how you feel. Our dog got into a situation where we could see her ribs and was so sad to see her like that. She ended up having Thyroid disease but under control now with medicine and looks good. I know you are feeling so much better now that she is getting better!!
Oh, Ann, I can’t believe that I am sitting here crying with joy for you and your beloved Lexi! I definitely believe in the power of prayer because you have indeed received a miracle. Hugs to you all!
That is wonderful news. I can’t believe the difference in the before & now photos. Lexi looks much better & it even looks like she’s smiling. God bless on her recovery!
Dear Ann: I’m so very happy to read that Lexi is feeling so much better. I totally understand the worry and anguish you experienced seeing her so sick. Our pets are part of our family so it’s not surprising we feel sad when they get sick.
Thank you for the update, please keep letting us know how she keeps improving.
Hugs to you both.
So happy for your good news!
Great news, Ann! So happy for you!
So glad Lexi is feeling better!!! All that TLC really worked. I have 2 dogs and they snuggle together when one isn’t feeling well too. I love the way they all look after each other.
So happy to hear your wonderful news today! Lexi does look 100% better! Love how Muffy isn’t letting her get too far away, so sweet.
That’s so wonderful Ann. I really think she missed her Mom. I had a cat that wouldn’t eat whenever we were separated. That’s quite a bond!
Such wonderful news. Nice to see that she is looking much better.
Thanks for the update
Oh thank God!!!
Hi Ann, such great news that Lexi is improving! Home is obviously where her heart is 🙂 so lovely the way the others snuggle her. My Lab does the same with me when I am not well 🙂

Oh, Ann!! What wonderful news to read while on the train on my way to work this morning. It definitely sounds like home was the best medicine for your Lexi. So glad to hear that she’s gaining weight and looks so much better already. I will still be keeping her and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
