We’re very thankful to Fivesibes for hosting Flashback Friday! This is the third in our series of blogs about when Lexi was the theater dog. In this one, rehearsal has just begun for her new role as the star of the show…
Being Toto isn’t easy
Man, easy street is over for LexiToto (me). I have to go to rehearsals and get dragged out to Dorothy where she always picks me up. I’m not liken that at all. I have to memorize my lines – mostly woof! It’s getting the knack of when to say “woof” especially after a life-time of being told to stop barking.
But then everything changed. Dorothy came to my house! and she played ball with me! and she played platy (platypus) hand puppet with me! and she took me for a walk! and she gave me new treats! She even understands dog-speak!! And she sang to me too! I heard her tell Mom she’s not going to pick me up any more because I don’t like it. Ya know, maybe she’s ok after all. Then we went to the meat market and the butcher came out to see me and brought me a big bone. It is so big I can hardly lift it, and boy oh boy is it good!
Mom got me this super yummy treat that is soft and tastes like peanut butter. She keeps making me roll over on my side before she will give me any. I don’t like that. It doesn’t feel right. She said something about poppies and looking like I am asleep. Right now, I am hoping she gives up on this “over” thing. What are poppies?
See y’all at the theatre soon!

Yes, it was Lexi’s very favorite place to be, and she got depressed when the production ended after 6 weeks and 27 performances.

Oh, how I love this! What a great photo! The Wizard of Oz is my fave movie (with my name Dorothy and all!) How lucky you were a theater pup! You must have had tons of fun, and what wonderful memories!

No, no, Loki has his schnauzers mixed up! I am Xena, not Lexi the actor! I think Loki loves ME! (Lexi is an Angel now.)

Yes, she was a bit scary, especially when she told the flying monkeys to take me and drop me in the river! Later I learned it was fun to bark at her on stage! XOX Angel Lexi

Lulu: “Hmm, Angel Lexi, were you a little unsure of that lady with the green face? If so, that’s quite prudent, I think!”
