Rotten Puppy

Rotten Puppy
I know you are thinking, "how can she look at that cute little face and call Lexi rotten." Well, that cute little face is deceptive. She has been a really rotten puppy lately. I know, she is technically not a puppy, but she is sure acting like one. We were told when we adopted her that she was two years old. Well, we quickly figured out that was a lie when she continued to grow, and we pegged her to really be about 10 months old when we got her. That makes her about a 1.5 years old now.

We specifically decided to go Monday night so the crowds would be as small as possible (if you want to meet a super crabby Morgan and Nicole - take them to the fair when its super crowded and hot - the tiny amount of patience I have disappears pretty quickly). The first thing Morgan and I did was get our very favorite food at the fair - French Fries! Not just any french fries, the ones from the giant french fry place near the haunted house. They were perfect. For those of you who haven't been to the fair
