When
I was just a little girl I was visiting with my Great Auntie Barb and
Great Uncle Gene. They had Dobermans and I just loved them. I grew up with
one named Hexe. She was a beautiful black and rust. When I was about five
years old I promised my Great Uncle Gene that when I grew up I would have
a pretty Doberman just like his Hexe and I would name my girl Hexi too. My
uncle passed away just three weeks after my 6th birthday. I miss him dearly.
When I turned ten, his Hexe passed away. I never ever forgot that promise I
made to him.
Well on Feb. 13th, 2010 I brought home my first Doberman girl. I named her
Diesel's B&G Hexi Promise. Hexi's dad's name was Diesel, and just seven months
before I got Hexi my pitbull named Diesel passed away and I know that he
meant for me to bring this girl in my life to help me heal from losing
him. So that's where the name Diesel comes in to play with her registered
name. The B&G of course stands for Barb and Gene my great auntie and
uncle. Then Hexi is after his Hexe. I just decided to put the I at the end
instead of the e. And then Promise is for the promise I made to him all
those years ago.
My sweet Hexi is nearly perfect in my eyes. She makes a great companion.
She is on her way to taking her CGC(canine good citizen) test so I can
take her into nursing homes and around special needs children. As of right
now, she helps me with my PTSD. She is a clown, I couldn't ask for much
more. She is cross-eyed which isn't something you see often in dogs. The
vets said it should go away and they said that when she was a pup and she
still has it. I think it adds to her charater. She is just a joy to be
around. She likes to lick everything ... yep, everything. Windows, floors,
people, the bed, my other dog, you name it. She is very, very
affectionate.
When I was looking at getting one I remember people telling me that
Dobermans are well known for being Velcro dogs and very vocal both of
which my Hexi is. She doesn't really have a favorite treat, she will eat
just about anything you offer her. She is very smart, too. We have taught
her to do high fives, it's funny. She doesn't swim if the water is deep,
she panics. Generally she goes 'til it touches her chest and out she
comes. We bought a life jacket for her for when she goes on the pontoon
with us. She loves back massages, and she will put her foot in your lap
for you to rub. What can I say, she is pampered.
She also doesn't handle the cold in Wisconsin very well so we bought her
boots and a couple of sweat shirts and even a winter jacket. She doesn't
mind us putting them on her. We often joke about it because we have never
seen anybody dress their big dogs up like we do. She enjoys when we buy
her new collars either. She shows them off as if she were a model. She
very much enjoys being in the spotlight and loves her photos taken - she
poses often. If we have her out running in the fields and she sees me get
my camera out she will sometimes stop and pose and then go on with her
playing. She is 82.5 pounds of baby. I don't think she knows just how big she really is.
She is the best dog in the whole world :)
