Wanted: Puppies in need of a Home!

Five Minutes for Mom is an incredible resource for Moms. They are a great source for reference, and have some of the MOST insane give-aways. In addition to running their website, they also have a store A Rocking Horse to Love of incredible toys - I don't know how those girls can do it. Today, they are giving away three life sized pups - and opened the opportunity to win them to animal loving kiddos. Anyone knowing Lexi, would agree, her name should be on the list of entries. For those who don't know Lexi, let me tell you a little about her:

If asked by inquiring minds, what comes to mind when you think of the contents of a playroom belonging to a five year old girl, I think most would think of dolls, princesses, dress-up play, tea sets, and perhaps even a starter Barbie or two. When I think of the playroom of MY five year old daughter, I immediately think of pet store, veterinary office, farm or the like.

My daughter has been IN LOVE and intrigued with animals from an early age. She passed on the 'traditional' toys and collected unique Beanie Babies to play with at the age of 18 months - the more unique the better - do you know what a Curlew is? She does!! From there, she immediately went on to collect animals by Scheich - again, the more unique the better. Her favorite at the moment, a meerkat - a pack of rollie pollie puppies are a close second. She is the only four year old I've known who has requested an encyclopedia of animals for Christmas - seriously, I didn't even know she knew what an encyclopedia was :). She has one though, and looks at it daily, regardless of the fact that she hasn't learned to read yet. She can rattle off species, habitat etc of some of the most obscure animals. Her heart belongs to animals. She strives to be either a Zoo Keeper or Animal Rescuer for domestic animals, once she told me she could do both. She is in awe by God's creation daily, whether it's when we see an eagle in the sky, a deer while driving, or another dog breed to add to her list of 'must-haves'. Her choice of residence would be the Savannah, her family in addition to us, would be any animal she could manage to gain its trust. She is intrigued by animals, and even more so, learning about giving of her time and love to creatures who are in need and will take time to tell anyone willing to listen about them. I know it sounds like she has more than enough animals to occupy her time - but trust me, if given the opportunity to own one of the life size canines, she would be over the moon. Over. The. Moon.
