Happy 1st Gotcha Day Dixie Loo!!!!! 12/17/10 <3

[luvofallhorses]

I cannot believe it's been a year since we brought our little scruffy puppy home from the shelter. I have to say it's been the best year ever. She's such a wonderful dog and I am glad we opened our home and hearts to her. I can't imagine why someone would just abandon her at 9 weeks old on one of the coldest nights of the year.

I have to say I am glad they did if you know what I mean... or else she wouldn't be here with us! I never wanted another small breed dog, but when the ACO brought her in..it was love at first sight! Her brown eyes just looked at me and I was in love.. I told my parents about her as well and they came to meet her and fell in love too! Waiting a year after Rocky & Jenny had passed was well worth the wait for another dog! I am sure they had a paw in bringing this little brown-eyed black beauty into our lives! Now I'll quit the mushy stuff and get on with the pictures! :)

She went from this:

She was at the shelter before we brought her home at 9 weeks..

Happy Gotcha Day Dixie Loo!!! You're such a cutie and I know how much your mommy loves you!:love:

[Freedom]

Hello Dixie Loo! You are such a young lady now, and very lovely too. You look like you enjoy a good snuggle, too. So I am sending belly rubs, I know thy will be delivered!

Too bad she doesn't like toys, eh? :D More than HALF of those photos show her with a toy! LOL she seems to have quite a collection, as well. Two pics - holding the green haired pony, and holding the I Wuff You toy -- there is a wonderful sparkle in her eyes, he hee. (I don't mean th flash, either). What a love!

Happy Gotcha Day, Dixie! And Birthday Girl suits you well, Happy Birthday.

[luvofallhorses]

Thanks Annette. We all :love: her very much! :D

Thank you Freedom! YES she loves, loves toys! :D I will definately rub her belly for you. :) She is a love!! The pink toy is a loofah dog toy. She loves those. She is getting plenty for Christmas don't you worry. ;) And yes she always has a sparkle in her eye no matter what. :love: Thank you so much again Annette and Freedom. She is going to have a great day. It's also my parents Anniversary. :D
