Inside the fenced yard of this little house, 3 or 4 puppies ran along side the neighborhood kids who had stopped by for a quick visit. Brandon and I knew we wanted a female dog to be the companion to Noah (our male). There were a few female options. Brandon had his eye on a little pup (one we now call Dixie), while I had my eye on a female with a giant head, who I assume grew up to be a big big girl. Brandon was sure his pup was the perfect fit for our family.....and he was right.
That night we brought Dixie home and introduced her to her new life and big brother, Noah. We were relieved that Dixie was instantly in love with Noah (although the same could not be said for Noah). I believe having a dog in the family already made Dixie's adjustment that much easier. She blended with our family almost immediately and now we can not imagine our home with out her.

Cuddled up together for a nap....she loved Noah the second she saw him
Dixie is an amazingly sweet dog. She loves all people! She is always happy and always eager. We laugh because sometimes you can hurt her feelings, and she will give you the cold shoulder....while looking back at you with sad eyes. She loves children more than anything and I know she will be in doggie heaven on earth when we finally have children. She is so different from Noah in terms of personalities, yet they are both great dogs.
Dixie can jump higher than any dog I know
We love her so much, our little Dixie-girl! Although we realize she is unaware that today is her birthday....we hope there will be many many more birthdays with this incredible pup!
She was so tiny when we brought her home
Our pretty girl!
