Desi shares the heartwarming story of adopting Dexter, her lovable greyhound, and the unexpected friendships that blossomed along the way.
A Special Bond
Dexter, affectionately known as Derpasaurus Dex, found his forever home with Desi over two years ago. His joyful and quirky personality quickly filled her heart and home.
Where to even begin....Derpasaurus Dex made himself right at home in my living room and heart almost two and a half years ago and I'm so glad he did. I've loved watching his big, derpy personality come out and begin to shine. Dexter has never met a human he didn't like (because every human is a potential neck scratch), though he has made enemies with my fur nephew (he really doesn't like cats).
Embracing Change
Despite not being fond of car rides, Dexter is set for a big move to Minnesota next year. Meanwhile, he enjoys living with Desi's parents and their German Shepherd puppy, Zelig.
This year has brought a lot of change for Dexter and I, but he takes it all in stride and adjusts quickly as long as he has plenty of love and neck scratches. We've moved in with my parents and their German Shepherd puppy short term while we prepare for an even bigger move next year! Dexter's second favorite human will officially become his dog dad in August 2020 and we'll be moving to Minnesota, which will be interesting as Dex is not very fond of car rides. He likes to "sing" in the car.
Daily Joys
Dexter’s love for neck scratches and human attention is unmatched, and his playful antics with Zelig bring laughter to the household. Desi cherishes their nightly cuddles, even if it means sharing her bed.
I love watching Dexter start to play and Chase his buddy Zelig in my parent's living room and I love my nightly greyhound cuddles even more, even when I'm getting kicked out of my own bed. I've never met a sweeter, more loving dog and watching him grow and blossom into the derpy dog I know and love has been such a blessing.
Gratitude to Greyt Angels
Thanks to Greyt Angels, Desi and Dexter found each other, creating a perfect match. This adoption not only brought joy into Desi's life but also forged a meaningful friendship with Sara, Dexter’s foster mom.
I can't thank Greyt Angels enough for matching me up with the perfect hound!!!
Thank you, Desi, for sharing your wonderful journey with Dexter.
