Meet our new joy! Baby girl puppy Lexi “Peanut” !!
Lexi says “Hello Friends!!!”. She’s probably going to be a little confused at all this blogging world, but hopefully you all can re-assure here that you’re all a group of super nice folks who will welcome her to the blog with open arms!
Meet Lexi, our itsy-bity-tiny cute-sy Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, aka “Peanut”.
Her nickname given to her by her breeders is “Peanut” because she is the runt of the litter of 11 puppies. Lexi “Peanut” is almost nine weeks old now, but when she was born she came in at only 5 oz. Super tiny for a ridgie puppy. She barely even made it in this world, but she has the spirit and heart of a ridgeback and is now charging through life fearlessly. And with lots of love, care and attention from the great breeders, she’s now ours to take home and to love to bits and pieces!
Though Lexi is only nine pounds, she still holds up to her own. She loves to play and explore the backyard garden with curious puppy eyes. Lexi and Sierra have bonded quite quickly and their sisterhood began as soon as they started sharing toys and beds.
As you all can tell, we’re super happy to have our two-dog family back together again since we lost Dante last year. Our little family feels complete again.
So expect many puppy pictures over the next few weeks!! months!! or even years!!
hugs,
diane, todd, sierra and lexi “peanut”
Sierra and Lexi became quick friends
They can share outdoor beds for now, but we’ll have to get a new one soon!

Gahhhh she is so cute!!! Congratulations on the new puppy!
Our Labrador Deacon D. Dawg passed away about 3 weeks ago, which leaves us wondering whether or not to get Pilgrim P. Dog, our lonely nine year old German Shepherd, a playmate.
We’re still in mourning, and wait and see mode.
That is just so much adorable in one post. So beautiful! They make a great pair!
What a cutie pie! I’m so glad your pack is now complete.
oh my god! so beautiful… just loved that last picture although its so tough to pick one!
Oh my goodness, she is precious…THEY are precious together. How sweet!
OMG!!!! She is too cute, and I adore both names. We are on the fence about getting a dog; we wish we did not have to travel so much, as it would make the decision easier. Enjoy your bundle of joy!!!!
Denise- you and Lenny would be great doggie parents. That will be a lucky dog one day.
Your puppy is absolutely adorable!!! I remember when I lost my first dog; the sadness was almost unbearable because I’d had him since I was born and didn’t know life without him! But a new puppy just brings new life and joy to your home, and I’m so glad you two have welcomed a new member to your clan!!
Beautiful girl! I have owned several ridgebacks and love the breed! My oldest daughter learned how to walk holding onto the collar of Claudey. Nothing could get near her or me without his permission. Enjoy!
That’s the perfect ingredient to compliment your family !!!
I have a Vizsla I walk around my studio in Eastside Costa Mesa and am asked often if he is a Ridgeback. I reply ” They are kissing cousins “
OMG. Adorable.
Oh wow, she’s divine!
Congrats! So cute! Looking forward to pics and stories in the future!
I really like the food writing and recipes, but many thanks for the dog pictures. They are wonderful.
Oh my so cute! I want one 🙂
WOW!! Beautiful and inspiring, thank you! Dana
