Lexi Haavig

This morning, my sweet girl Lexi took her last breath, in my arms. She has been by my side since 2008, even before I met my husband, and babies, and crazy little boys! She was runt of the liter at the shelter, I knew nobody would take her, she looked a little sickly. But even at the shelter, she came to me, meowed and nudged my finger and I knew she was supposed to be mine! The sweetest, tiniest little thing, who was always friendly and craving attention to be petted and would be meowing until she got what she wanted. Capturing the heart of even the biggest dog lover, i.e., my father-in-law Bob, he really loved her! She got EXTRA love and snuggles from my in-laws, when they lived with us! Bob & Janet 😊 In her younger days, she would fetch her toy mice, I would throw it and she would bring it right back and even “did her job” catching a couple real ones! John was proud of her! When I worked from home, she either sat in my lap or gave “the stare”! 🥰 I will miss my little buddy, and all her night time snuggles. I always joked how all day, the kids would be crawling all over me, then they would go to bed, then the dogs would be crawling all over me, their time for snuggles. Then, when I went to bed, there she was, ready for her snuggle time. I knew her time to go was coming soon… she was 14, so I made the most of all her nightly snuggles. Now she’s in heaven, hopefully annoying and snuggling my Daddy. Take care of her up there! I’ve lost pets before, but this is a tough one!! We gave her some pain meds last night and she really perked up.. we thought she was going to be ok?! I caught her drinking some water. Almost back to normal, I kept her comfortable in a little basket with a blanket, she loved it! The perfect size for her little body! We got a glimpse of her happy and purring one last time, enjoying all her snuggles last night. The kids gave her lots of love! I found her this morning, hiding, laying under the bed, no really responding and I knew she was leaving me. I brought her downstairs, the boys said goodbye and gave her kisses. She took a few more breathes and she was gone. 😞 🐈⬛ Lexi survived by Mommy (Erica), Daddy (John), human brothers, Logan & Ryan, and doggy brothers, Chase & Stanley. You will always be in our hearts Lexi! We love you Sweet Girl! 💕 😘
