Hi Lexi'sMom - I just bumped up a post from you because someone asked we anyone had heard from you. It certainly is great to see you post and to know you, Lexi, and your family are safe!
It sounds like Lexi was the hit of the mall. I know what you mean - when we have Rowdy out and about, it seems that EVERYONE wants to hold and play with him. I took him to my aunt's assisted living apartment complex last week and it took me 30 minutes to get in and out of there. Every resident who saw Rowdy wanted to hold and talk to him and pet him. I was glad to oblige and so was Rowdy!
