stevie bevie and i began our long search for the perfect dog last christmas (2005) time. we searched petfinder.com on a daily basis. we found the perfect looking dog, a black plothound named homer. homer had a flipped ear in his profile pic and the sweetest looking face. but we missed the boat and soon found a new black dog-a weimeraner/great dane named lexus.
because she was already "two or three," we chose to spare her the trauma of a name-change on top of her third try at an adoption. she had already been adopted and returned several times. stevie bevie got her for my birthday and, to our surprise, she was even on clearance! apparently black dogs don't sell well, so she was marked down. on her way home from the humane society, lexus drooled profusely and even threw up all over the back seat. as avid fans of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, we had no choice to but to name her lexis lucille III after Lucille Ostero (also referred to as Lucille II, Lucille Bluth's next door neighbor and friend affected by vertigo). it seemed only right.
it has been over a year since lexi has joined our family, and although we love her dearly, we have fond recollections of homer and think of him anytime lexi's ear flips back. they could be brother and sister. so, we are considering a name change to honor homer, the dog that could have been a fabulous addition to the anderson family.
