Lexi is a pure breed working cocker spaniel who never made it to a working dog due to being “gun shy” (afraid of loud noises). Due to her fear of many things and her general anxious disposition, she spends many of her hours happily lying in her own bed upstairs. I have had Lexi since I was 14 and when she’s not sleeping in her own bed, she’s sprawled across my lap, snoring.
